According to the current-limiting circuit and the linear
voltage regulator for achieving
constant power control, after the current of a power tube Ppower tube of a
mirror image LDO circuit of a detection tube is compared with a set current-limiting threshold, an output
signal pulls up the grid
electrode of the Ppower tube to reduce output current, so that output current-limiting control is achieved, and when Vin rises, the output current-limiting control is achieved through the
channel length modulation effect of the detection tube and the power tube. And the rated
current limiting value is reduced, so that
constant power control is realized when the input and output
voltage difference of the LDO circuit is increased. Meanwhile, in order to avoid the influence of different Vout on the
current limiting value, a Vout clamping circuit is adopted, the drain
electrode potential of the Ppower and the drain
electrode potential of the detection tube are approximately the same, and the
current limiting difference caused by the change of the Vout is avoided. According to the circuit, current limiting and channel length effect differences are combined, as Vin rises, the current rising proportion of the detection tube is larger than that of the power tube, current limiting protection is started in advance, the output current is reduced, the
constant power effect is achieved, power rising of the power tube along with Vin rising is avoided, and risks caused by heating when the power is large are reduced.
