Benefits of technology

The solution effectively cancels ripple voltage at the output terminal, reducing voltage drop and improving power supply efficiency while allowing for integration of the constant voltage power supply unit and ripple removing circuit into a single IC, enhancing overall performance.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the voltage drop across the NPN transistor Qa is further increased, and therefore the power supply efficiency is degraded.
On the other hand, if the capacitance of the capacitor Ca is made large, the large size of the capacitance Ca makes it impossible to integrate the capacitor Ca and the capacitor Ca has to be externally attached.
When an output current of the series regulator 106 is large, the voltage drop thereof also becomes large, resulting in degradation of the power supply efficiency.

Abstract

A disclosed constant voltage power supply circuit (1) has an input terminal (Vdd), an output terminal (Vout), a constant voltage power supply unit (2) that generates a constant voltage (Vo1) with a ripple voltage (Vri), and a ripple removing circuit unit (3) for removing the ripple voltage so that a constant voltage (V1) without the ripple voltage is output at the output terminal (OUT). The ripple removing circuit unit comprises a resistor (R1) connected between the constant voltage power supply unit and the output terminal; a ripple voltage detection circuit unit (5) for detecting the ripple voltage and outputting a signal depending on the detected ripple voltage; and a current circuit unit (6, 7) for receiving the signal from the ripple voltage detection circuit unit and supplying a current (io1) to the output terminal or absorbing a current (io2) from the resistor in response to the received signal, so as to cancel the ripple voltage at the output terminal.
