1. 1 Basic operation

Figure 15 shows the block diagram of the regulator block to describe the basic operation.

The error amplifier compares the feedback voltage (Vfb) whose output voltage (VOUT) is divided by the feedback

resistors (Rs and Rf) with the reference voltage (Vref). The error amplifier controls the output transistor,

consequently, the regulator starts the operation that holds VOUT constant without the influence of the input

voltage (VIN).

1. 2 Output transistor

In the S-1740/1741 Series, a low on-resistance P-channel MOS FET is used between the VIN pin and the

VOUT pin as the output transistor. In order to keep VOUT constant, the ON resistance of the output transistor

varies appropriately according to the output current (IOUT).

Caution Since a parasitic diode exists between the VIN pin and the VOUT pin due to the structure of

the transistor, the IC may be damaged by a reverse current if VOUT becomes higher than VIN.

Therefore, be sure that VOUT does not exceed VIN + 0.3 V.

1. 3 Overcurrent protection circuit

The S-1740/1741 Series has a built-in overcurrent protection circuit to limit the overcurrent of the output

transistor. When the VOUT pin is shorted to the VSS pin, that is, at the time of the output short-circuit, the

output current is limited to 60 mA typ. due to the overcurrent protection circuit operation. The S-1740/1741

Series restarts regulating when the output transistor is released from the overcurrent status.

Caution This overcurrent protection circuit does not work as for thermal protection. For example,

when the output transistor keeps the overcurrent status long at the time of output short-

circuit or due to other reasons, pay attention to the conditions of the input voltage and the

load current so as not to exceed the power dissipation.
