Abstract

See full text

The voltage regulators are capable of limiting undershoots of the output voltage without having a similar effect on overshoots because of the presence of a current cancellation network, input with the reference voltage and coupled to the second input of the error amplifier. This current cancellation network is adapted to inject into the second input a unidirectional compensation current of the first and second currents injected by the first and second feedback networks, respectively, the compensation current being determined by time variations of the difference between a replica of the output regulated voltage and the reference voltage and/or by time variations of the reference voltage.
