Circuit for preventing overshoot of output voltage of low dropout regulator

Abstract

The invention provides a circuit for preventing overshoot of output voltage of a low dropout linear regulator (LDO), the LDO comprises a power tube, and the circuit comprises an overshoot prevention unit used for outputting slowly reduced control voltage; the circuit comprises a control unit, and the input end of the control unit is connected with the output end of the overshoot prevention unit. Moreover, the control voltage is fed back to the grid electrode of the power tube through the control unit, so that the output voltage of the low dropout regulator is slowly increased. The total volumeof the overshoot prevention unit and the control unit is far smaller than that of a capacitor connected to the output end of the LDO in parallel in the prior art, and therefore the design requirements for high integration degree and small size of an integrated circuit are met; moreover, active adjustment is carried out from the control end of the LDO, so that the output voltage overshoot of the LDO is effectively prevented, and the problems of component damage and the like possibly caused by the output voltage overshoot are avoided.
