Abstract (en)

[origin: US2001050546A1] A voltage regulator includes a regulation MOS transistor with low serial resistance having a first terminal connected to a voltage source and a second terminal connected to the output of the voltage regulator and an amplifier having an output driving a gate of the transistor. The gate is driven based upon a difference between a reference voltage and a feedback voltage. The regulator may also include an anti-overshoot switch with a first terminal connected to the gate of the regulation MOS transistor and a second terminal is taken to a potential for turning the regulation MOS transistor off. A switch controller closes the switch when the output voltage of the regulator is higher than a first threshold. The first threshold may be higher than the nominal value of the output voltage.
