Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device according to the Preamble of claim 1, i.e. a voltage regulator, whose output voltage from the control of a Voltage regulator contained transistor depends.
- the voltage regulator generates an output voltage Vout, which is tapped at the source of the transistor MN1, and which of the load Zout supplied as a supply voltage becomes.
- the drain of transistor MN1 is connected to a the voltage regulator with energy supply voltage applied, and the gate terminal is with the output terminal of the transconductance amplifier OTA1.
- the transconductance amplifier OTA1 has two input connections from which an input voltage Vin is supplied, and of which the other one of the output voltage Vout dependent (fed back) voltage supplied becomes; the transconductance amplifier OTA1 forms the Difference between these voltages and indicates the result the gate terminal of transistor MN1.
- the feedback Voltage is applied to one between the resistors Rfb and Re tapped node x2; the resistors Rfb and Re are connected in series and between the source connection of transistor MN1 and ground.
- the voltage regulator described is a series regulator (Series Voltage Regulator) with an NMOS transistor in basic drain circuit as a driver stage. It should be obvious and needed no further explanation that the voltage regulator shown is able to create one of Vin and the (through the Resistances Rfb and Re determined) depending on feedback factor to generate constant output voltage Vout. This is however, especially with complex loads Zout, i.e. at No loads with inductive and / or capacitive components guaranteed under all circumstances: the system can in this Case become unstable.
- the stabilization circuit can ensure that the through current flowing in phases in the transistor, and only in Phases in which this would be too small to be stable To ensure operation of the voltage regulator is increased.
- the voltage regulator according to the invention has a lower energy requirement, because the flow of the additional cross flow will yes only initiated in certain phases.
- FIG. 1 An arrangement is shown in FIG stabilized voltage regulator and a connected to it Load impedance Zout includes.
- the voltage regulator is a series voltage regulator that like that shown in Figure 5 and initially with reference voltage regulator described there a differential amplifier (a differential transconductance amplifier) OTA1, one NMOS transistor MN1, a first resistor Rfb and one contains second resistance Re, which is also the case in the Figure 5 shown voltage regulator are connected and cooperate.
- the voltage regulator shown in Figure 1 contains in addition a stabilization circuit, which however is constructed and works completely differently than that for stabilization serving elements Rs, Cs1, Cs2 and Cs3 of the voltage regulator according to FIG. 5.
- From transistor MP3 is the source connection with the node x3 connected, the gate terminal is connected to the output terminal of the second transconductance amplifier OTA2, and is the drain connection with the source connection of the transistor MN4 connected.
- the drain connection of the (also grounded on the source side) Transistor MN3 is connected to a node x1. With this node x1 there is also a current Iref output reference current source and the drain connection of the transistor MN5 connected.
- the transistor MN5 (grounded on the source side) is included the transistor MN6 connected to a current mirror, wherein a current Ic flowing through transistor MN5 causes a current Ic 'flows through the transistor MN6.
- the transconductance amplifier OTA2 and the transistor MP3 ensure that the source of the transistor MN2 (at node x3) sets the same potential as on Source connection of the transistor MN1. I.e. that on Node x3 sets the potential Vout. Simplified lets the arrangement of transconductance amplifier OTA2 and Understand transistor MP3 as a voltage follower of a replica the output voltage Vout at node x3.
- the transistors MN1 and MN2 are thus in the voltage same working point, which is the improvement of synchronism serves both transistors to each other.
- the transistor MN2 by the same signal how the transistor MN1 is driven on the gate side A current flowing through transistor MN2, which is in a determined ratio to the flowing through the transistor MN1 Electricity is there.
- the transistor is preferably very much weaker than the transistor MN1, so that the Transistor MN2 current flowing through Irep is much smaller is than the current Ic '+ Iq flowing through the transistor MN1 + Lout.
- the transistor MN2 thus provides a replica current Irep current Ic '+ Iq + Iout flowing through to the transistor MN1.
- the stabilization circuit can thus achieve that the transistor MN1 from an additional cross current Ic ' is flowed through when the sum of the currents Iout and Iq is small, and that transistor MN1 has no additional Cross current Ic 'is flowed through when the sum of the currents Iout and Iq is big, big enough to be one to ensure stable operation of the voltage regulator.
- the voltage regulator according to FIG. 1 also contains Capacitors Cm1 and Cm2, through which the output connections the transconductance amplifier OTA1 and OTA2 connected to ground are, and which for frequency compensation of the transconductance amplifier OTA1 and OTA2 serve.
- Vout Vout ⁇ Vin * Rfb + Re re
- the current Is1 is minimal when Iout and Ic 'are equal to and equal to 0
- the current Is1 in the transistor MN1 decreases and thus also the current in the transistor MN2.
- the circuit can now be dimensioned accordingly using equations 1.29, 1.14 and 1.15.
- a structure and a value must be defined at the beginning of the dimensioning. This can be done from a specification for the bandwidth of the OTA according to equation 1.16.
- the minimum current Iq flows as Is1. The circuit thus has a corresponding reserve in terms of stability.
- Equations 1.35 and 1.29 can now be used for those in the figures 1 and 2 arrangements shown the minimum cross current be determined by the output transistor MN1 or MP1 must flow to at a given load capacity to ensure stability.
- the resistance Rmin (Rmin ') as an auxiliary variable serves for dimensioning.
- the stream accepted by one Resistance Rmin (Rmin ') can now be between the Current Iq through voltage dividers Rfb and Re and the current Ic ' be divided. The circuit can thus be fully dimensioned.
- the transfer function shows an increase in the frequency range to the expected DC gain, this is from an instability or to assume at least one ringing.
- the circuit can be made accordingly be dimensioned.
- a stabilization circuit is shown in FIG which for turning on and turning off the additional Cross current Ic 'a hysteresis is provided.
- FIG. 4 largely corresponds the arrangement shown in Figure 1; with the same Elements identified by reference numerals are identical or corresponding elements.
- the stabilization circuit shown in FIG. 4 contains additionally NMOS transistors MN7 and MN8 and one Current source supplying reference current Iref2.
- the transistors MN7 and MN8 are connected to form a current mirror, the drain of transistor MN7 and the Gate connections of transistors MN7 and MN8 with node x1 are connected, the drain of the transistor MN8 to the Drain connection of the transistor MN4, the gate connections of the Transistors MN3 and MN4 and the reference current Iref2 supplying power source is connected, and the source connections of transistors MN7 and MN8 connected to ground are.
- the additional measures ensure that the Threshold that Irep must fall below so that the additional cross current Ic 'flows is smaller than that Threshold that must be exceeded by Irep so that no additional cross current Ic 'flows.
- the change of the current flowing through the transistor MN1 or MP1 done by reconfiguring the arrangement, for example by opening, closing or switching switches, via which the transistor acts as load elements Components or current sinks can be connected.
- the stabilizing circuits of the voltage regulators described are independent of the details of practical Realization easy to design and implement, and can with minimal own energy requirement of the voltage regulator one under ensure reliable stabilization in all circumstances.
