Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a circuit from being destructed by turning on a transistor(TR) connected to the output terminal of an amplifier and turning off a control TR when a large short-circuit current flows into the output terminal. CONSTITUTION:Since the resistance value of a resistor 9 is set up to a value smaller than that of a resistor 11, the inclination of a load line (c) is larger than that of a load line (d). At that time, the voltages of intersecting points between the static characteristic curve (a) of normal operation and the load lines (c), (d) show the voltage values of nodes 12, 13 and respectively set up as V1, V2. Since the voltage V1 is higher than the V2, the output of the amplifier 14 goes the voltage Vin of an input terminal 1. Thereby, the voltage between the gate and source of a TR 15 is turned to zero, a TR 15 is turned off and no influence is exerted upon the output of the amplifier 6. Consequently, a monolithic voltage control circuit having an output short protection function can be obtained.

Next, the circuit operation will be explained. Current monitor transistor 8
In the control transistor 2 and the control transistor 2, the L lengths of both are equal, and the W length is, for example, 1/100 the W length of the current monitor transistor 8 compared to the W length of the control transistor 2.
When the W length ratio is set in this way, the gate voltages of the control transistor 2 and the tfL monitor transistor 8 are simultaneously supplied from the output terminal of the amplifier 6, so the current flowing to the control transistor 2 is Compared to this, the current flowing through the current monitoring transistor 8 is approximately 1/100. That is, the control transistor 2
The current flowing through the circuit can be monitored by the current monitoring transistor 8 on a scale of 1/100. The current flowing through the current monitoring transistor 8 is converted into a voltage by a resistor 9. On the other hand, the L length and W length of the transistor lO are
Set equal to current monitoring transistor 8. Therefore, since both gate voltages are also supplied from the output terminal of the amplifier 6, they have the same static characteristics. Further, the current flowing through the transistor 10 is converted into a voltage by a resistor 11. However, the resistance value of resistor 11 is set to be larger than the resistance value of resistor 9. As a result, the magnitude relationship of the voltage values at connection points 12 and 13 is reversed between normal operation and output short circuit. become. This situation is shown in Figure 3. In Figure 3, curves iJa and b represent the static characteristics of current monitoring transistor 8 (or transistor 10).0 curve a represents the static characteristics of current monitoring transistor 8 (or transistor 10). It shows the characteristics. Further, straight lines C and d represent load lines formed by resistor 9 and resistor 11, respectively. As mentioned above, the resistance value of the resistor 9 is set smaller than the resistance value of the resistor 11, so the slope of the load line is 1% ic from the straight line d.
becomes larger. Here, the static characteristic NI during normal operation is
The voltage at the intersection of Aa and loads vAC and d indicates the voltage values at connection points 12 and 13, and these are expressed as V and v, respectively.
Set it to 2. Since the voltage vI is higher than v2, the output of the amplifier 14 becomes the voltage Vin of the input terminal 1. Therefore, since the gate-source voltage of the transistor 15 becomes zero, the transistor 15 is 0FFL and does not affect the output of the amplifier 6. On the other hand, when the output is short-circuited, the output voltage of the amplifier 6 drops as described above, and the gate-source voltages of the current monitoring transistor 8 and the transistor 10 increase, so that the static characteristic curve becomes as shown in b. In this state, the voltage values at the connection points 12 and 13 are {circle around (1)} and v4.

Here, what you have to be careful about is the negative ti&il
When C is short-circuited, it moves parallel to the load line e in the X-axis direction. This is because the output terminal 3 is short-circuited and becomes the ground potential. From Figure 3, connection point 1
Since the voltage ν at the node 13 is smaller than the voltage v4 at the connection point 13, the output of the amplifier 14 becomes 0, which is the ground potential, contrary to the normal operation. As a result, the transistor 15 is turned on, so the control transistor 2 The gate-source voltage of the transistor 2 becomes zero, and the transistor 2 becomes 0FFL, which prevents overcurrent in the event of a short circuit.

To make the above explanation more clear, it has been stated that the output of the amplifier 14 is at the input terminal V in during normal operation, and at the ground potential when the output is short-circuited, but in actual operation, the voltage is The output voltage of the amplifier 14 is controlled so that the voltages of V and V# are equal. As a result, the output current versus output voltage characteristic diagram of the voltage control circuit of the present invention exhibits a fold-back characteristic as shown in FIG.
