Abstract

The invention provides a semiconductor integrated circuit used for regulators, capable of improving the transient response characteristics when the output voltage is switched, without increasing a wasteful current. The semiconductor integrated circuit for regulator includes: a control transistor (M1); a voltage divider circuit generating a feedback voltage proportional to an output voltage; a control circuit (11) controlling the control transistor based on difference between the feedback voltage and a reference voltage; and a terminal through which an output voltage switching control signal is received, and being configured to switch the output voltage by varying division ratio in the voltage divider circuit in response to the signal. The semiconductor integrated circuit further includes: a discharging transistor (M4) which is connected between the output terminal and the ground (GND); and a circuit for controlling output fall (16) during switching, which outputs a signal for keeping the discharging transistor turned on over a period from change of the control signal to fall of the output voltage to an expected electric potential based on difference between the feedback voltage and the reference voltage.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a DC power supply device, and furthermore, to a voltage regulator for converting a DC voltage, and to a series regulator (including an LDO: low-saturation regulator) which is effectively used to constitute, for example, a function of switching an output voltage Semiconductor integrated circuit (regulator IC) technology. Background technique [0002] In the DC power supply device, it is desired to switch the output voltage level so as to suppress the deterioration of the characteristics of the equipment which is the load receiving the power supply. Therefore, in conventional control semiconductor integrated circuits constituting a series regulator (series regulator), there is a structure as follows: Figure 4 As shown, a terminal for inputting and outputting a voltage switching control signal CV is provided, and the output voltage level is switched according to the state (high or low) of the output voltage switching cont...
