Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] In particular, the invention refers to a power supply voltage stabilization circuit for an electronic device, and a power supply voltage stabilization circuit capable of providing a large load and a stable voltage. [Prior Art] ❹ In the electronic field, the circuit can provide stable circuit dust. Under the circumstance, the power supply circuit kisses the rated lightning pressure value and provides enough current to the circuit to be powered. However, the imperfect power supply voltage regulator circuit may cause the voltage to appear during the operation of the circuit. Steady phenomenon, the result of the error or the calculation of the error. The traditional power supply voltage regulator circuit needs to add an external capacitor with a larger capacitance value outside the integrated circuit to ensure the power supply voltage regulation. The stability of the circuit. Please refer to Figure 1 'Figure 1 for the conventional-power supply voltage regulator circuit K. The power supply voltage circuit 10 is composed of a p-type gold oxide half (PM0S) transistor M1, a operation The amplifier i (9) and the resistors iU and R2 are configured to convert an input voltage VIN into an output voltage ν〇υτ of an appropriate size according to a reference voltage vref, and output it to a load -1〇2. The stability of the voltage stabilizing circuit 1,, the output end of the power voltage stabilizing circuit 10 (and the drain of the PMOS transistor M1) is coupled to an external capacitor CEXT. When the load 1〇2 draws a large current in an instant, the external capacitor CEXT can be used for 201015264 The output voltage νουτ occurs too much instantaneously. However, when the electric load of 1 is large, the domain point of the electric_voltage circuit 会) will increase the current and increase the current, causing the circuit to be unstable and losing the positive # Function. It is also said that the large load current is the main cause of the unsatisfactory phenomenon of the power supply voltage regulator U. In addition, _, in order to store the foot _ electric energy, to lose (four) fresh view occurs too large instantaneous drop 'usually Need to turn over a large f-capacity material (four) capacity CEXT, the head * need to consume the space of the board. Recently, in order to save the space of the circuit board, the conventional technology has developed a power supply that does not need to add an external capacitor outside the integrated circuit. Pressure circuit. Please refer to Figure 2, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the conventional _ electric hybrid circuit 2G. The electric miscellaneous Wei 2G does not need to add an external capacitor, which contains (4) gold oxide half (NMOS) transistor M2 The M3, the operational amplifier 200, the resistor R, R2, R, and a capacitor CL are used to convert the input voltage viN into an appropriately sized output voltage ν〇υτ according to the reference voltage VREF', and output it to a load 202. 'Capacitor CL is an internal capacitor with a small capacitance value. When the load 202 is instantaneous When a large current is taken, the charge stored in the capacitor CL is quickly used to supply the current required for the load 202 instantaneously, and at the same time, the source voltage of the transistor M3 is also lowered. However, due to the source of the _3 transistor M3 A parasitic capacitance CgS having a relatively large electric valley between the pole and the gate, when the output voltage νουτ changes, the parasitic capacitance Cgs will suddenly drop the output voltage ν〇υτ, and is coupled to the output of the operational amplifier 200. Between the gates of the crystal M2, the gate voltage of the NMOS transistor M2 is lowered, thereby lowering the on current of the NM〇s transistor ^2, causing the source voltage to drop. Then, the 201015264 source level of the NMOS transistor M2 The voltage is transmitted to the negative terminal of the operational amplifier 200 via the feedback mechanism constructed by the resistors R1 and R2. After the amplified error signal, the gate voltage of the transistor M2 is promoted and the source voltage of the NMOS transistor V12 is made. Returning to the original level, the source and output voltages of the NMOS transistor M3 are returned to the original level. In other words, when the load 202 _ wave takes a large current, the output voltage VOUT of the power supply surface circuit 2 呈现 exhibits a jitter phenomenon of falling and then rising. This dimming image is mainly caused by insufficient system bandwidth, and the reaction speed of the output terminal instantaneously extracting a large current is insufficient. These are the disadvantages of the power supply voltage regulator circuit 20. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a power supply voltage regulator circuit for an electronic device. ❹

The reference input terminal (4) is connected to an electric generator (not shown in FIG. 4) for receiving a reference voltage F. The comparison unit 4 is lightly connected to the reference input terminal 40, the voltage regulating unit 4〇6 and the driving unit 4〇2 for comparing the reference voltage VREF and the “return signal 9 201015264 size” output by the voltage regulating unit and will compare The result is output to the chicken unit 402.

In the fifth stage circuit, the comparison unit 4 〇〇 compares the reference voltage VREF with the feedback signal VFB to control the magnitude of the output current of the driving unit 4〇2, thereby generating the driving signal VDRV. At the same time, the front stage circuit 300 can be operated more stably by the Miller surface method.

Lai main pole and - relatively high _ new pole, away (five) es_ng). Pole separation function via Miller compensation method Between the gate and the immersion of the PMOS transistor hall, a new low-frequency and more stable main pole can be generated to improve system stability. For the driving unit 4〇2 in the pre-stage circuit 300, the frequency compensation mode of the transistor can be changed to obtain an equivalent effect, for example, replacing the capacitor CM1 with a series of electric hexels and a resistor RM, as shown in FIG. 6A. Shown. In the 6a picture, the first. Where 'capacitor CM2 passes through the new main pole of Miller's compensation method, and the resistor can generate a new zero point, and the frequency response of the circuit of 201015264 is changed. It should be noted that the compensation component of the drive unit is (4) to make the original male age be a more expensive rider - a new pole with higher frequency, a stable stability, and the connection mode and implementation mode of the compensation component. It can vary depending on the system, and is not limited to this. For example, reference is made to Figure 6B, and Figure 6b is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the pre-stage circuit 3〇〇. Comparing FIGS. 6B and 5, the difference between the embodiment shown in FIG. 6B and FIG. 5 is that the PMOS transistor in FIG. 4 is replaced by the -NMOS transistor _ in FIG. 6B. The way the op amp is connected is also changed. In this case, the capacitor CC _ is connected between the interpole and the ground of the transistor surface to provide a frequency plane to improve system stability. Figure 7 is a schematic view of an embodiment of the buffer stage circuit 3〇2. The buffer stage circuit 302 is composed of a KM〇s transistor face 4 and a picture 5. Gu 〇 胄 胄 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰 曰The signal VREG to the output stage circuit 3〇4qNM〇s transistor MN5 acts as a current source, and its gate is lightly connected to a fixed bias voltage source VBW 吏 NMOS transistor surface 5 to provide a fixed current to wake up 8 The transistor MN4 is used. In Fig. 7, the transistor 8 can provide a low output impedance, so that the pole corresponding to the low output impedance can be shifted from the low frequency to the high frequency to improve the stability of the system and increase the bandwidth of the system. In addition, the low output impedance provided by 匪〇8 transistor fine 4 also effectively blocks the effect of the voltage jitter of the output stage circuit 3〇4 on the 12 201015264 'J-level circuit 300. It is worth noting that the 'face 〇 8 transistor coffee will provide a low output lag when it is placed at the __ output voltage drop - a specific value. In order to compensate the source voltage of the NMOS transistor _4, the booster unit 4G4' in the pre-stage circuit makes the input 源ίί (source) phase of the NMOS transistor 4, at the input end (_) The drop phenomenon can be compensated in the boost unit 404 of the test 3 (8).赫 Herac Fig. 8' Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the output stage circuit 3〇4. The output stage circuit 304 includes an nm0s transistor, a cell 7, and a capacitor c1. The function of the surface 〇S transistor is a power switch ’ used to control the output voltage V0UT according to the adjustment signal outputted by the snubber circuit 3〇2. The function of NM〇s transistor Li 7 is a current source, which is extremely lightly connected to the voltage source of the fixed bias value, so that the battery can provide a fixed current to the NM〇s transistor surface 6. . The output stage circuit ❹ 304 further includes a capacitor CL coupled between the voltage output terminal % and the ground terminal gnd for storing the charge. It is worth noting that there is a parasitic capacitance Cgs with a large capacitance value between the source and the closed end of the awake (10) transistor. The parasitic capacitance Cgs can couple the voltage jitter phenomenon at the wheel terminal to the NMOS transistor mn6. The gate. In this case, the low output impedance provided by the NMOS transistor MN4 in the buffer stage circuit 302 can effectively block the influence of the voltage jitter phenomenon of the output stage circuit 304 on the pre-stage circuit 3(8). In addition, the coupling of the NM〇S transistor face 6 will cause its output voltage at the source to drop by a specific value. Similarly, boost unit 404 in preamp circuit 300 can provide a voltage boost function to compensate for voltage drops. 13 201015264 In combination with FIG. 5, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8, a preferred embodiment of the power supply voltage regulator circuit 3 is shown in FIG. As previously mentioned, in accordance with the Miller compensation method, the output of operational amplifier 500 produces a low frequency new main pole to improve system stability. The low output impedance of the NMOS transistor mn4 in the buffer stage circuit 302 drives the corresponding pole from low frequency to high frequency to improve system stability and increase system bandwidth, and can prevent the output stage circuit 304 from being affected by parasitic capacitance. The pre-stage circuit is 3〇〇. In addition, the NMOS transistors MN2 and MN3 of the ❹-polar body can compensate for the voltage drop phenomenon caused by the use of nm 电 _4 and MN6, so that the power supply voltage regulator circuit 3 has both stability and rapid response advantages. . In general, the NMOS transistor _6 of the output stage circuit 304 has a parasitic capacitance Cgs of a large valley. When the external load instantaneously draws a large current, it will cause the output voltage VOUT to drop, which will increase the conduction capability of the NMOS transistor MN6 to quickly provide the charge required by the load. Further, the low output impedance characteristic ' provided by the buffer stage circuit 302' causes the change of the output voltage VOUT to not affect the operation of the pre-stage circuit 300. The pre-stage circuit 300 is subjected to the Miller compensation method to obtain a new main pole which is relatively low frequency and does not shift with the output current. The output voltage drop phenomenon of the NMOS transistor MN4 and the NMOS transistor MN6 is also compensated by the boosting unit 404 of the preceding stage circuit 3 by an equal amount. Therefore, the present invention can achieve both stability and reaction speed, and the output voltage VOUT can maintain the required voltage level. In summary, although the conventional power supply voltage regulator circuit has removed the limit of the capacitor must be added 14 201015264 still need to solve the phenomenon of the circuit system riding * stability and reaction speed * sufficient. In contrast, the present invention provides a buffer stage circuit that provides a low output impedance to the power of the output stage circuit; 1 fluctuations do not affect the operation of the pre-stage circuit. Moreover, by providing frequency compensation and boosting the operating voltage to the driving unit of the pre-stage circuit, the power supply voltage stabilizing circuit of the present invention can properly solve the problem of insufficient system compensation and reaction speed, and provides a stable current source with a large current load. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the scope of the present invention should be within the scope of the present invention.
