Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect even a slight decrease of an output voltage by monitoring the controlling signal level obtained by amplifying an error voltage of an output voltage of a constant voltage source apparatus from a reference voltage by an error amplifier and, detecting the insufficient voltage. CONSTITUTION:When an output voltage V0 of an output terminal 12 of a con stant voltage source apparatus is decreased, a controlling signal level E is generated from an error amplifier 6 by amplifying an error voltage correspond ing to the difference between the voltage V0 and a first reference voltage Vr1, and output to a first and a second comparison circuits 4, 8. Even when the voltage V0 decreases only slightly, the voltage value of the signal level E exceeds a threshold voltage set by a second reference voltage Vr2, and the circuit 8 outputs an insufficient voltage detecting signal. Accordingly, even when the output voltage is lowered quite slightly due to the reduction of the input voltage or excessive current of the constant voltage source apparatus, the insufficient voltage can be detected.

The conventional undervoltage detection circuit described above uses a comparator circuit to compare the output voltage value itself of the constant voltage power supply with the reference voltage, so the reference voltage value corresponding to the undervoltage detection value is determined from the constant voltage power supply. It is set to have a relatively large margin of detection, taking into account the output voltage transient response characteristics of the device or the voltage fluctuations of the output voltage remote control. For this reason, there are the following drawbacks.
