The output drive transistor M4 operates in the linear region under the static bias set by the voltage divider resistor R0 and resistor R1, limiting the output voltage and avoiding false triggering and premature driving. When VBAT is above or equal to 8V, transistor M6 is turned on, and feedback is sent to the current mirrors via the output drive transistor R4 and the Zener diode D1. This causes the current mirrors formed by transistors M2 and M3 and M5 and M6 to operate, forming a three-stage common-source feedback amplification structure composed of transistor M2, output drive transistor M4, and M5. This achieves intelligent judgment and automatic adjustment under power supply conditions, effectively improving the adaptability and safety of the circuit over a wide voltage range.
