Abstract
A regulator circuit includes a first transistor reducing an external supply voltage and outputting an internal active voltage to an output node; a first detector receiving a criteria level, detecting the internal active voltage based on an enable signal, controlling a gate voltage of the first transistor, and adjusting an output current thereof; a second transistor reducing the external supply voltage, and outputting an internal standby voltage corresponding to the internal active voltage to the output node; a second detector receiving a reference voltage, detecting the internal standby voltage regardless of the enable signal, controlling a gate voltage of the second transistor, and adjusting an output current thereof; a first switch controlling whether to output the reference voltage as the criteria level of the first detector; and a second switch controlling whether to output the voltage of the output node as the criteria level of the first detector.
