Abstract: An electronic circuit includes a substrate. A capacitor and at least one semiconductor component are supported by a surface of the substrate. A substantially planar screen, oriented parallel to the surface of the substrate and made of metallic material, is placed between the capacitor and the semiconductor component. Preferably, the semiconductor component is placed in proximity to the surface of the substrate and several superposed layers of insulating material cover the surface of the substrate and the semiconductor component. The capacitor is then placed within at least one layer of insulating material above the semiconductor component, and the screen is placed within an intermediate layer of insulating material between the layer incorporating the capacitor and the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: The linear regulator (30) has a control unit (35) and output circuit (31) to supply a load (1) and smoothing capacitor (11). The output circuit consists of two MOS transistors (32,33) which supply an output terminal (OUT) and are controlled by connections to their grids (G1,G2) from the input/output stage (36) of the control unit. The input/output stage uses data from a reference unit (37) and the output circuit for regulation

Abstract: The invention concerns a voltage regulator having an output terminal (O) adapted to be connected to a load (R, C), comprising a device (1) limiting the current (Iout) passing through the load to a threshold current (It1) if the output terminal potential (Vout) is lower than a threshold potential (Vt), and to a second threshold current (It2) is higher than the first threshold current if the output terminal potential (Vout) is higher than the threshold potential (Vt).

Abstract: A ramp capacitor CAP1 has a first terminal connected to a power supply voltage VBAT. A generator circuit is connected to a second terminal of the ramp capacitor and adapted to generate a voltage ramp at the terminals of the ramp capacitor. The generator circuit includes a constant current source SCC connected to the second terminal B12 of the ramp capacitor CAP1 and auxiliary circuit MAX adapted in the presence of a transient variation of the power supply voltage to determine the transient current flowing in the ramp capacitor and generated by the transient variation. Responsive thereto, delivery is made to the second terminal B12 of the ramp capacitor CAP1 of a charging current equal to the algebraic sum of the constant current delivered by the constant current source and an auxiliary current equal and opposite to the transient current.

Abstract: The electronic device includes a ramp capacitor CAP1 having a first terminal connected to a power supply voltage VBAT, and generator means connected to a second terminal of the ramp capacitor and adapted to generate a voltage ramp at the terminals of the ramp capacitor. The generator means include a constant current source SCC connected to the second terminal B12 of the ramp capacitor CAP1 and auxiliary means MAX adapted in the presence of a transient variation of the power supply voltage to determine the transient current flowing in said ramp capacitor and generated by said transient variation and to deliver to the second terminal B12 of the ramp capacitor CAP1 a charging current equal to the algebraic sum of the constant current delivered by the constant current source and an auxiliary current equal and opposite to the transient current. The method is applied to a step-down switching regulator in a mobile phone.
