Abstract
A constant voltage output device has a field-effect transistor and a comparator. Between the output electrode of the field-effect transistor and ground, a first resistor, a second resistor, and a first diode are connected in series. Moreover, between the output electrode of the field-effect transistor and ground, a third resistor and a second diode are connected in series. The comparator compares the voltage at the node between the first and second resistors with the voltage at the node between the third resistor and the second diode, and feeds the comparison result to the gate of the field-effect transistor. At an output terminal appears a desired voltage that is determined by the ratio between the current capacities of the first and second diodes and by the ratio between the resistances of the first and second resistors.
