Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a control circuit substantially equalizing the delay of the turn-on and turn-off of an output signal by reducing the delay of switching. CONSTITUTION: The control circuit includes a first current oscillator I1 charging the driving node of a power transistor and a second current oscillator I2 discharging a driving node and is provided with a third current oscillator I3 for discharging a node. Discharge by the third current oscillator is controlled by a signal to adjust a turn-off delay time and a turn-on delay time.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To turn steady current consumption to zero without losing characteristics by providing a control circuit with a switch for blocking a current from a discharge current oscillator having control node capacitance when a power transistor(TR) is in an OFF state. CONSTITUTION: When a power TR PW is in an OFF state, the gate voltage of a TR M5 is also reduced. In the case of a switch OFF phase, the resistance of the TR M5 is increased and mismatch between currents I1, I2 is generated. The generation of a mis-matching trouble can be removed by determining the dimensions of the TR M5 so that large mismatch is generated when the power TR PW is slipped out of the saturation. Thereby the TR M5 operates as a switch to be opened when the gate voltage of the power TR PW is dropped less than the threshold voltage of the TR M5 and turns off a branch I2. Consequently the speed characteristics of the current oscillator I2 and the switch M5 can be held.

Abstract: A switch-type regulator with a soft-start function having an output terminal supplying an output voltage, and including an error amplifier, having a first input receiving a constant reference voltage, a second input receiving a feedback voltage dependent on the output voltage, and supplying a compensation terminal with an error voltage correlated to the difference between the reference voltage and the feedback voltage. The error amplifier includes a differential amplifier. The regulator also includes a compensation network connected to the compensation terminal. A soft-start function is obtained exploiting the compensation network.
