Abstract: PURPOSE: To decrease a voltage across an equalization capacitor, to accelerate a charging process, and to make a current limiting action proper by providing an uni-directional current energizing circuit between one terminal the equalization capacitor and the gate of a power MOS transistor. CONSTITUTION: When a voltage across a resistor Rs is increased, and allowed to reach the voltage of a reference power source Vr, a transistor TRQ5 is turned off. Then, a TrQ4 turns on a TrQ6 to draw more current from the base of the TrQ6. Some portion of current Ig is thus allowed to flow to the emitter of the TrQ6, the gate voltage of a power MOSTrMp is decreased, and load current I is decreased. At this time, a equalization capacitor C is not sufficiently charged, and the TrQ4 draws current from the base of the TrQ6, and the gate of the TrMp continues to draw current from a current source Ig while the TrQ6 is turned off, and increases the load current I. When an unidirectional current energizing circuit 2 is arranged at a prescribed position, the equalization capacitor C can be charged at a higher rate. Also, an amplifier 1 is properly interposed, and the current I is limited at an output terminal F.

Abstract: The invention concerns a circuit for limiting the maximum current to be supplied to a load (Z) through a power Mos (Mp), being in particular of the regulated type using an equalizing capacitor (C). The addition of circuit means (2) with a one-way current flow between a terminal of said equalizing capacitor (C) and the gate terminal of (Mp) is effective to lower the voltage across the capacitor (C) and to speed up its charging process, thereby making the current limiting action expected from the circuit a timely one. The circuit means (2) may include a second Mos (M) of the same type as the power Mos (Mp). In this way, any deviations of (Mp) from its designed operation, as due to its manufacturing process and thermal drift phenomena, can be also compensated.

Abstract: A reference voltage generator having a dual slope temperature characteristic, for use in an automotive alternator voltage regulator, comprises a bandgap circuit (R1,R2,R3,R4) which generates a voltage (A) having a thermal drift coefficient of zero and a voltage (B) having a non-zero thermal drift coefficient. These voltages are applied to a voltage divider (R5,R6) and a voltage-follower type of circuit (OPA1). A unidirectional conduction amplifier circuit (OPA2) has an input terminal connected to an intermediate point (C) on the voltage divider. A second voltage divider (R7,R8) is connected between the output terminals of the voltage-follower circuit (D) and the amplifier circuit (E). An intermediate node (F) of the second voltage divider is coupled to an output terminal (VREF) of the generator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a voltage regulator of the type comprising a linear filter (2), a comparator (3), and a stretcher filter (4) which are connected in cascade with one another between an input terminal (I1) and an output terminal (O1) of the regulator (1), the input terminal (I1) receiving an error signal (ERR) as converted by the comparator (3) into a square-wave error signal (ERRq), and the output terminal (O1) delivering a square-wave output control signal (Sout) which has a stretched duty cycle over the square-wave error signal (ERRq) by a time delay (tA) introduced from the stretcher filter (4). The regulator of this invention further comprises a non-linear filtering section (5) for the error signal (ERR) which is connected between the input terminal (I1) of the regulator (1) and the linear filter (2) and has linear gain with the error signal (ERR) below a first value (X1), gain approximately of unity with the error signal (ERR) between the first value (X1) and a second value (X2), and zero gain with the error signal (ERR) above the second value (X2). The invention also concerns a method for filtering a noisy electric signal.
