Abstract:
A regulator circuit supplies an output voltage V OUT  to a load. A second transistor is arranged in parallel with a first transistor, and has a relatively small size. A feedback circuit generates a first feedback signal and a second feedback signal according to the output voltage V OUT . A first error amplifier controls the first transistor such that the first feedback signal approaches a first reference value. A second error amplifier controls the second transistor such that the second feedback signal approaches a second reference value. In a light-load state, the operation of the first error amplifier is maintained.

Claim (Index 1):
A regulator circuit structured to supply an output voltage to a load, the regulator circuit comprising:\n a first transistor; a second transistor having a smaller size than that of the first transistor and arranged in parallel with the first transistor, and; a feedback circuit structured to generate a first feedback signal and a second feedback signal that correspond to the output voltage; a first error amplifier structured to control the first transistor such that the first feedback signal approaches a first reference value V REF1 ; and a second error amplifier structured to control the second transistor such that the second feedback signal approaches a second reference value V REF2 , wherein a target voltage of the output voltage to be generated by a combination of the second transistor and the second error amplifier is designed to be higher than a target voltage of the output voltage to be generated by a combination of the first transistor and the first error amplifier, and wherein, when a load current is smaller than a predetermined threshold current, the first error amplifier is turned off.
