Since it does not need to be grounded, it also greatly reduces the size of the electronic device.
[0004] The specific technical scheme is as follows:

[0007] Preferably, the resistor on the current limiting main path closest to the output terminal is the first level control resistor, and the resistor closest to the power supply is the second level control resistor; the expanded current branch path controlled by the first level control resistor has a higher priority than the expanded current branch path controlled by the second level control resistor.
[0008] Preferably, on the current limiting main path, there is a resistor as a connecting bridge between the first level control resistor and the second level control resistor.

[0020] In order to make the features and advantages of the patent more obvious and easy to understand, the following specific examples are given, and the detailed description is as follows in combination with the accompanying drawings:
[0021] The application proposes a new construction idea and method of a zero-grounding and zero-power-consumption voltage stabilizing circuit, the gist of which is to set a resistor or a plurality of series-connected resistors as a current-limiting main path between the power supply and the output terminal, and to use a transistor and a branch current-limiting resistor to form an extended current branch; a resistor as a control resistor is connected in parallel between the emitter and the base of the transistor and is located on the current-limiting main path or the extended current branch; when the load power is lower than a threshold value, the power supply only supplies power through the current-limiting main path; when the load power increases, the control resistor controls the state of the transistor through voltage division, so that the extended current branch provides compensation for the output current of the circuit.
[0022] Such a design can realize the followability adjustment of the load power increase requiring larger current under the premise of voltage stabilization without grounding and using a more complex control chip, realizes zero power consumption and small device size, and on the other hand, such a design scheme also has scalability, can increase any number of extended current branches according to actual needs, and further improves the stability of the circuit.
[0023] In order to ensure the stability of actual work, the following features are added in the three embodiments provided below:
[0024] The current-limiting main path is composed of at least three series-connected resistors; the resistors on the current-limiting main path serve as control resistors of the transistor or as connection bridges between the extended current branches, and at least one resistor on the current-limiting main path serves as a connection bridge.
[0025] Among them, the resistor on the current-limiting main path closest to the output terminal is the first-level control resistor, and the resistor closest to the power supply is the second-level control resistor; the priority of the extended current branch controlled by the first-level control resistor is higher than that of the extended current branch controlled by the second-level control resistor.
[0026] In other words, when the load power increases, the "regulating switch" closest to the load is turned on first. Based on the characteristics of transistors, since transistors of the same type have essentially the same on-state voltage, by properly setting the values of each resistor and their proportional relationships, it can be ensured that after each current-amplifying branch is turned on, its corresponding transistor operates in the amplification region, thus guaranteeing the smoothness of current amplification. The connecting bridge, by creating an interlock-like characteristic between the control resistor and other current-amplifying branches, provides feedback control, making the voltage regulation and adjustment more stable.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the groundless zero-power voltage regulator circuit consists of four resistors and two transistors.
[0028] Resistors R3, R1, and R2 are connected in series between the power supply and the output terminal, forming the main current-limiting circuit. In the initial state after load startup, because the current is small, only the main current-limiting circuit is conducting. At this time, the load current is equal to the current in the main current-limiting circuit.
[0029] If the resistance values of each resistor are set to be different, the voltage drop across each resistor will also be different. If the resistor on the main circuit is used as the control resistor, then a multi-level control with different starting conditions for the current expansion branch is formed.
[0030] In this embodiment, the emitter of the PNP transistor Q1 is connected to the power supply, the base is connected between resistors R3 and R1, and the collector is connected between resistors R1 and R2; thus forming a control switch for a current-amplifying branch.
[0031] The emitter of the NPN transistor Q2 is connected to the output terminal, between the base resistor R1 and resistor R2, and the collector is connected between resistor R3 and resistor R1 via resistor R4, thus forming another control switch for the current amplification branch.
[0032] In this structure, resistor R1 serves as a connecting bridge, while resistors R2 and R3 serve as control resistors.
[0033] Since the turn-on voltages of transistors Q1 and Q2 are set to be the same, in this embodiment, the resistance value of resistor R2 needs to be greater than that of resistor R3. In this way, when the load power increases to a certain level, such as when the voltage drop across R2 is 0.5V-0.7V, transistor Q2 will turn on first, forming the first current-boosting branch, which meets the requirements of voltage regulation and current boosting. At this time, I_OUT = I3 + I11.
[0034] When the power is further increased, the voltage drop across R3 can also be 0.5V-0.7V. At this time, in addition to the R3-R1 channel, the transistor Q1 opens two new current-expanding branches to further compensate for the working current required by the load.
[0035] In this process, resistor R1 acts as a connecting bridge.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the second embodiment of the present invention adds a current-amplifying branch based on the first embodiment, aiming to demonstrate the scalability of the design provided by this embodiment. It includes resistors R5, R6, and R7, and a PNP transistor Q3; resistor R5 is connected between the emitter of transistor Q1 and the power supply; the emitter of transistor Q3 is connected to the power supply via resistor R6, the base is connected between resistor R5 and the emitter of transistor Q1, and the collector is connected to the output terminal via resistor R7.
[0037] Although resistor R5 is located in the current-amplifying branch, it still serves as a control resistor. With transistor Q1 conducting, a voltage divider is generated across it. When the voltage drop across resistor R5 is 0.5V-0.7V, transistor Q3 conducts, providing a larger current to the overall circuit.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the third embodiment of the present invention adds a current-amplifying branch in another direction based on the first embodiment, aiming to demonstrate the scalability of the design provided by this embodiment. It includes resistors R8, R9, and R10, and an NPN transistor Q4; resistor R8 is connected between the emitter and output terminal of transistor Q2; the emitter of transistor Q4 is connected to the input terminal via resistor R9, the base is connected between resistor R8 and the emitter of transistor Q2, and the collector is connected to the power supply via resistor R10.
[0039] Resistor R8 serves as the control resistor for transistor Q4.
[0040] This patent is not limited to the above-described preferred embodiments. Anyone can derive other forms of groundless zero-power voltage regulator circuits and construction methods based on the guidance of this patent. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of this patent application shall fall within the scope of this patent.
