Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model provides an embodiment: a novel step-down circuit, including an input power supply 1, a voltage reference 18, and a voltage output 19. The input power supply 1 is connected to a power adjustment tube 2, one end of the power adjustment tube 2 is connected to a voltage boosting module 3, the voltage boosting module 3 is connected to an amplifier 4, one end of the amplifier 4 is connected to a resistor 1 5, the resistor 1 5 is connected to a ground 6, one end of the power adjustment tube 2 is connected to a resistor 2 7, the resistor 2 7 is connected to one end of the resistor 1 5, the voltage at the node B is sampled through the negative end of the amplifier 4, and compared with the voltage reference 18, the output voltage of the amplifier 4 is raised by a voltage V1 through the voltage boosting module 3 to act on the gate end of the power adjustment tube 2, the gate end voltage of the power adjustment tube 2 is increased, the opening degree of the power adjustment tube 2 is greater, the potential of the voltage output 19 is increased, and the potential of the node B is also increased. When the voltage of the node B is equal to the voltage reference 18, the voltage output 19 is stabilized and no longer increases. The method of generating a large internal power supply 8 through a small internal power supply 8 has a simple structure, so that the voltage range of application is wider and the cost is low.

[0028] The voltage boost module 3 includes an internal power supply 8, the internal power supply 8 is connected to a resistor 3 9, the resistor 3 9 is connected to a resistor 4 10, the resistor 4 10 is connected to a resistor 5 11, the resistor 5 11 is connected to the ground 6, one end of the resistor 3 9 is connected to a switch 12, the switch 1 12 is connected in series with a switch 3 13, the switch 3 13 is connected in series with a capacitor 14, the capacitor 14 is connected in series with a switch 4 15, the switch 4 15 is connected in series with a switch 2 16, the switch 2 16 is connected to one end of the resistor 5 11, one end of the switch 12 is connected to a capacitor 2 17, the capacitor 2 17 is connected to one end of the switch 2 16, one end of the amplifier 4 is connected to a voltage reference 18, one end of the power adjustment tube 2 is connected to a voltage output 19, one end of the capacitor 14 is connected to the amplifier 4, and one end of the power adjustment tube 2 is connected to the capacitor 1 14, there is a node B at the connection between the resistor 1 5 and the resistor 2 7. When the switch 1 12 and the switch 2 16 are closed and the switch 3 13 and the switch 4 15 are opened, the capacitor 2 17 is connected in parallel to the resistor 4 10. At this time, the capacitor 2 17 will be charged. After being fully charged, the voltage across the capacitor 2 17 is equal to the voltage V1 across the resistor 4 10. When the switch 1 12 and the switch 2 16 are opened and the switch 3 13 and the switch 4 15 are closed, the capacitor 2 17 and the capacitor 1 14 will be connected in parallel. During the startup process, there is no voltage on the capacitor 14, and there is a voltage of V1 on the capacitor 2 17. The voltage of the capacitor 2 17 is higher than the voltage of the capacitor 1 14, and the capacitor 2 17 will charge the capacitor 1 14. The above process is continuously alternated, and finally the voltage on the capacitor 1 14 will be equal to the voltage across the resistor 4 10.

[0029] Working principle: The negative end of the amplifier 4 samples the voltage at the node B and compares it with the voltage reference 18. When the load suddenly increases, the voltage of the voltage reference 18 decreases, and the voltage at the node B also decreases accordingly. The voltage of the node B is lower than the voltage reference 18, and the output voltage of the amplifier 4 increases. The output voltage of the amplifier 4 is raised by a voltage V through the voltage boosting module 3. The input power supply 1 (how the voltage boosting module 3 boosts the voltage will be explained later) acts on the gate end of the power adjustment tube 2. The gate end voltage of the power adjustment tube 2 increases, the power adjustment tube 2 is more turned on, the potential of the voltage output 19 increases, and the potential of the node B also increases. When the voltage of the node B is equal to the voltage reference 18, the voltage output 19 stabilizes and no longer increases. When the load suddenly decreases, the voltage at the voltage output 19 increases, the voltage at the node B increases, and the voltage at the node B is higher than the voltage reference 18. The output voltage of the amplifier 4 decreases, the gate voltage of the power adjustment tube 2 decreases, the turning on degree of the power adjustment tube 2 decreases, the voltage of the voltage output 19 decreases, and the voltage of the node B decreases. When the node B is equal to the voltage reference 18, the voltage output 19 is stable. The working principle of the voltage boost module 3 is as follows: the switch 1 12 and the switch 2 16 are controlled by the signal of the same phase, the switch 3 13 and the switch 4 15 are controlled by the signal of the same phase, and the control signals of the switch 1 12 and the switch 3 13 are opposite, that is, when the switch 1 12 and the switch 2 16 are turned on, the switch 3 13 and the switch 4 15 are turned off, and when the switch 1 12 and the switch 2 16 are turned off, the switch 3 13 and the switch 4 15 are turned on. When the switch 1 12 and the switch 2 16 are closed, and the switch 3 13 and the switch 4 15 are turned on, the capacitor 2 17 is connected in parallel to the resistor 4 10. Capacitor 2 17 will be charged. When fully charged, the voltage across capacitor 2 17 is equal to the voltage V1 across resistor 4 10. When switch 1 12 and switch 2 16 are opened, and switch 3 13 and switch 4 15 are closed, capacitor 2 17 and capacitor 1 14 will be connected in parallel. During the startup process, there is no voltage on capacitor 1 14, and there is a voltage of V1 on capacitor 2 17. The voltage of capacitor 2 17 is higher than that of capacitor 1 14, so capacitor 2 17 will charge capacitor 1 14. The above two processes are continuously alternated, and finally the voltage on capacitor 1 14 will be equal to the voltage across resistor 4 10.
