Problems solved by technology

At this time, the power transistor 15 is fully turned on (that is, the power transistor 15 operates in the deep linear region), so the inrush current flowing through the power transistor 15 can be the rated output current of the low dropout voltage regulator circuit 10 (that is, the rated output current of the external circuit Load current) 3 times or more, causing the supply circuit of the first power supply Vin and / or the external circuit to be overloaded, thereby damaging components in these circuits, and may also cause system malfunction

Abstract

The invention provides a current control circuit which comprises a first power transistor, a second power transistor and a controller, wherein the first power transistor and the second power transistor are connected between a first power source and the output end of the current control circuit, and the width-to-length ratio of the first power transistor is smaller than that of the second power transistor; the controller responds to a received enabling signal, so that the first power transistor and the second power transistor are conducted in sequence; when receiving the enabling signal, the controller conducts the first power transistor, so that power supplied from the first power source is supplied to the output end through the first power transistor; and when the voltage level of the output end is equal to the level of a preset output voltage of the current control circuit, the controller conducts the second power transistor, so that power supplied from the first power source is supplied to the output end through the second power transistor which operates in a saturation region. Therefore, the current control circuit can perform the function of soft startup, and restricts inrush current.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic circuits, more specifically, to a current control circuit capable of limiting inrush current. Background technique [0002] Currently, low dropout (LDO) regulators have been widely used in power supply circuits to reduce the input-output voltage difference. LDOs can also prevent overloading of loads by limiting current. [0003] figure 1 is a circuit diagram showing a conventional low dropout regulator circuit 10. [0004] refer to figure 1 , the traditional low dropout regulator circuit 10 includes an error amplifier 11 , a feedback resistor network 12 , a reference voltage source 13 , a driving buffer 14 , and a power transistor 15 . [0005] like figure 1 As shown in , the power transistor 15 is connected between the input power supply (the first power supply) Vin and the output terminal OUT of the low dropout regulator circuit 10 . The error amplifier 11 includes a positive input termin...
