Patent CA-2576705-A1 (CA)
Title: Switching voltage regulator with low current trickle mode
Inventor: WENG MATTHEW
IPC: G05F1/10
Filed: 2007-02-02
Abstract: For load currents greater than a threshold current, the voltage regulator operates in a conventional manner by fully turning on and off one or more switching transistors (16) at a duty cycle necessary to maintain the output voltage a regulated voltage. Upon a load current below a threshold being detected (76), a controller stops the switching of the transistor(s) and applies a reduced drive signal (44) to the high side transistor so as to apply a constant trickle current to the load. Unnecessary components are shut down to save power (42).  When the output voltage falls below a threshold (46), the normal switching routine is resumed to recharge the regulator's output capacitor (28) to a certain level, and the regulator once again enters the light load current mode. By not completely shutting down the transistors at light load currents, as in done in a conventional intermittent-operation mode, there is lower power loss by less frequent switching of the transistor(s).
