Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable an output transistor to be operated within the range of a perfect operating area, by controlling the ON-time and the OFF-time of the output transistor when an output current increases abnormally. CONSTITUTION:When abnormality is generated on a load, and an output current goes over IS1, the output of a Schmitt circuit 6 is inverted and constant current circuits 7 and 8 are turned on, and turned off, respectively. When the terminal voltage of a capacitor 9 arrives at a threshold value VTH(H), the output of a comparator 10 is inverted, and a signal to turn off the output transistor Q1 is outputted. When the output current decreases, and goes below the IS2, the output of the Schmitt circuit 6 is inverted, then the constant current circuit 7 is turned off, and the circuit 8 is turned on. Therefore, the capacitor 9 starts discharge, and when it arrives at the threshold value VTH(H) of the comparator 10, the output of the comparator, 10 is inverted again, and the signal to turn on the output transistor Q1 is outputted. And such a series of operations is continued until the abnormality is eliminated from the load.
