  • Patent number: 10845835
    Abstract: A voltage regulator device and a control method thereof are provided. The voltage regulator device includes a voltage regulator and a path switch. The voltage regulator includes an output node and a voltage divider circuit. The output node is used to generate a control voltage. The voltage divider circuit generates an overshoot reference voltage according to an input voltage. A first node of the path switch is coupled to the output node, a second node of the path switch is coupled to a reference voltage node, and a control node of the path switch receives the overshoot reference voltage. When the control voltage is greater than the sum of the overshoot reference voltage and a threshold voltage of the path switch, the path switch is turned on to direct a charge at the output node to the reference voltage node.
