MOSFETMP1 is one and adjusts the MOSFET that element MPass type is identical with output voltage, and in this embodiment, MOSFETMP1 and this output voltage adjust element MPass and be P-channel MOSFET. This output voltage adjusts element MPass and is connected between input voltage and output voltage, and it controls end, i.e. its grid MPG, connects with the outfan of corresponding error amplifier EA and this current limit circuit, and its source electrode is connected to input power VCC. The grid of (not shown in Fig. 2, part) referring to beyond broken box in Fig. 4 MOSFETMP1 and source electrode are respectively used to adjust the grid MPG of element with this output voltage and source electrode is connected. Drain current characteristics according to MOSFET, the parameters such as the cut-in voltage UGS (th) at MOSFETMP1 and this output voltage adjustment element MPass are identical, the electric current flowing through MOSFETMP1 and the ratio flowing through the electric current that this output voltage adjusts element MPass are equal to the channel width-over-length ratio of MP1 and the ratio of the channel width-over-length ratio of MPass. Therefore, by selecting MOSFETMP1 and this output voltage to adjust the physical dimension of element, it is possible to change the ratio of the electric current flowing through them easily. Preferably, MOSFETMP1 and this output voltage is selected to adjust the channel width-over-length ratio of element to flow through the electric current of MOSFETMP1 less than flowing through the one thousandth that this output voltage adjusts the electric current of element.
Current limit circuit shown in Fig. 2 also includes a current mirror circuit. One current-voltage conversion circuit and a voltage comparator circuit. Wherein, current mirror circuit is connected to current sampling circuit, produces the image current of and the current in proportion flowing through described current sampling circuit for reference current for the electric current to flow through described current sampling circuit. Current-voltage conversion circuit is connected to current mirror circuit, to produce a voltage proportional to image current.Voltage comparator circuit is connected to current-voltage conversion circuit and the control end of above-mentioned output voltage adjustment transistor, make comparisons for the voltage that current-voltage conversion circuit is produced and a threshold voltage, and when the voltage that current-voltage conversion circuit produces is more than this threshold voltage, the voltage controlling end is limited in a predetermined voltage.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, current mirror circuit is formed with different types of MOSFETMN3 and MN1 of MOSFETMP1 by two, namely MOSFETMN3 and MN1 is N-channel MOS FET, wherein MOSFETMN1 and MOSFETMP1 series connection, and its drain electrode is connected to the drain electrode of MOSFETMP1. Current-voltage conversion circuit (I-Vconverter) is constituted 1 by a resistance R1 and a MOSFETMP5, voltage comparator circuit is made up of MOSFETMP4, resistance R1 is connected between the drain electrode of MN3 and the drain electrode of MP5, grid and the drain electrode of MP5 link together, form the connected mode of diode, the source electrode of MP5 and the source electrode of MP4 are all connected to power supply VCC, the drain electrode of MP4 is connected to control end MPG, grid is connected to the drain electrode of MN3, for providing bias voltage between the grid and source electrode of MOSFETMP4. MOSFETMP4 is the voltage drop on resistance R1 and MP5 and its threshold voltage, the i.e. absolute value of its cut-in voltage | VGS(th)MP4|, compare, decide whether the voltage high MPG node according to comparative result. The grid of MOSFETMN1, together with drain electrode point range, forms the ground node that diode connected mode, the source electrode of MOSFETMN1 and substrate point solution are extremely public. The grid of MOSFETMN3 is connected to the grid of MOSFETMN1, and the source electrode of MOSFETMN3 and substrate are connected to the source electrode of MOSFETMN1, and the drain electrode of MOSFETMN3 is connected to one end that the grid with MOSFETMP4 of resistance R1 is connected. The source electrode of MOSFETMP4 and substrate are connected to the source electrode of MOSFETMP1, and the drain electrode of MOSFETMP4 is connected to the grid of MOSFETMP1.
So, flow through the electric current of MOSFETMN1 equal to the electric current flowing through MOSFETMP1, the ratio of the ratio of the electric current flowing through MOSFETMN3 and the electric current the flowing through MOSFETMN1 channel width-over-length ratio equal to MN3 and the channel width-over-length ratio of MN1.
The current in proportion relation of MP1 and MPass, the ratio (such as proportionate relationship is 1:K) of the ratio of the electric current of MP1 and the electric current of the MPass channel width-over-length ratio equal to MP1 and MPass, then the electric current I of MP1MP1Equal to (1/K) .Io, wherein IMP1For the drain current of MP1, Io is the electric current of MPass. MN1 and MN3 constitutes current mirror, for simplified description, it is assumed that its breadth length ratio is 1:1:1. According to KCL law, the drain current of the MP1 drain current equal to MN1. Therefore the drain current of MN3 is also equal to (1/K) .Io. MP4 and MP5 adopts the transistor that threshold voltage is different, for instance MP4 is 5VPMOS, the MP5 that threshold voltage absolute value is bigger is 1.8V or 1.2VPMOS that threshold voltage absolute value is less, and meets | V(th)Mp4|>|V(th)Mp5|. When MP4 turns on, MPass is carried out current limliting by current limit circuit, it is possible to know by inference: IMN3.R1+|V(th)Mp5|=| V(th)Mp4|, wherein IMN3For the drain current of MN3, V(th)Mp5For the threshold voltage of transistor MP5, V(th)Mp4Threshold voltage for transistor MP4.

MOSFETMN2 and MOSFETMN1 connects into current mirror circuit, for providing bias current for MOSFETMP3. It is equal with the drain voltage that output voltage adjusts element that MOSFETMP2 and MP3 is used for the drain voltage limiting MOSFETMP1, so that the proportionate relationship flow through between the electric current of MOSFETMP1 and the electric current flowing through output voltage adjustment element is more accurate.
In this embodiment, MP2 and MP3 constitutes amplifying circuit, and the source voltage adjusting MP2 is equal with the source voltage of MP3, and namely the drain voltage of MP1 is equal to VONode voltage. The current in proportion relation of such MP1 and MPass, the proportionate relationship of the ratio of channel width-over-length ratio, the ratio (such as proportionate relationship is 1:K) of the ratio of the electric current of MP1 and the electric current of the MPass channel width-over-length ratio equal to MP1 and MPass, then the electric current I of MP1MP1Equal to (1/K) * Io, wherein IMP1For the drain current of MP1, Io is the electric current of MPass. MN1, MN2 and MN3 constitute current mirror, for simplified description, it is assumed that its channel width-over-length ratio is 1:1:1. According to KCL law, the drain current of the MP1 drain current equal to MN1. Therefore the drain current of MN3 is also equal to (1/K) * Io. MP4 and MP5 adopts the transistor (such as MP4 is 5VPMOS, the MP5 that threshold voltage absolute value is bigger is 1.8V or 1.2VPMOS that threshold voltage absolute value is less) that threshold voltage is different, and meets |(th)mp4|>|(th)mp5|. When MP4 turns on, MPass is carried out current limliting by current limit circuit, it is possible to know by inference: IMN3.R1+|Vthp5|=| Vthp4|, wherein IMN3For the drain current of MN3, Vthp5 is the threshold voltage of transistor MP5, Vthp4Threshold voltage for transistor MP4.

Owing to the threshold voltage of general PMOS is all negative temperature coefficient, even if the PMOS of different threshold value, the temperature coefficient of its threshold voltage is all similar, so | V(th)mp4|-|V(th)mp5| temperature coefficient only small. From without adopting the R1 that negative temperature coefficient is very big, the current limit value of good temperature coefficient can be realized.
