ABSTRACT:
When the overcurrent detection circuit detects that a voltage drop of the output transistor exceeds a threshold value, it turns on the switch by the first operational amplifier. In the shut-down signal generation circuit, the capacitor is charged with a charge current determined based on a current depending on the voltage drop of the output transistor. The shut-down signal generation circuit generates a shut-down signal to turn off the output switch when a voltage of the capacitor exceeds a voltage of the inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier.
