Abstract

The invention provides a linear regulator with a soft start control circuit. The linear regulator comprises an operational amplifier and an output cascade circuit, wherein the operational amplifier compares a voltage distributing signal with a reference voltage of an output node of the output cascade circuit and outputs a control signal to control the output cascade circuit. When the linear regulator is in a non-start stage, the output cascade circuit outputs constant voltages. The linear regulator is characterized by further comprising the soft start control circuit and a first power drive tube, wherein the size of the first power drive tube is smaller than that of a power drive tube in the output cascade circuit, the soft start control circuit detects whether the linear regulator is in the start stage, when the linear regulator is in the start stage, the first power drive tube is started so that the linear regulator can charge a load with currents flowing through the first power drive tube, and when the linear regulator is in the non-start stage, the power drive tube in the output cascade circuit charges the load.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of system-on-chip (SOC) integrated circuit design, and more specifically, relates to a linear voltage regulator with a soft-start control circuit capable of controlling startup current. Background technique [0002] figure 1 is a diagram showing a prior art linear regulator (LDO). Such as figure 1 As shown, the circuit includes an operational amplifier AMP and an output stage circuit. The output stage circuit may include a power PMOS transistor, feedback resistors R1, R2 and an output load capacitor Cout. When starting, the circuit is prone to generate a huge starting current. figure 2 show figure 1 Timing diagram of the linear regulator. Such as figure 2 As shown, when the linear regulated source starts with its power supply voltage VDD changing from low to high, the initial value of the output voltage Vout is 0, and the voltage of the resistor divider FB is also 0, which is far lower than that of th...
