linear voltage regulator with low power consumption and rapid response to lasttransienten

摘要

A linear type of voltage regulator, having at least one input terminal (VBAT) adapted to receive a supply voltage and one output terminal (VOUT) adapted to deliver a regulated output voltage, comprises a power transistor (M1) and a driver circuit for the transistor; the driver circuit comprises essentially an operational amplifier (OP1) having an input differential stage biased by a bias current which varies proportionally with the variations of the regulated output voltage at the output terminal (VOUT) of the regulator.
