Switching regulator and lsi system

Abstract

In a switching regulator, switching noise is reduced with keeping high conversion efficiency. The switching regulator includes plural output switching transistors 21 through 23 having different on-resistances, which are operated in a descending order of on-resistance in the on operation and are operated in an ascending order of on-resistance in the off operation. In this manner, abrupt current change can be suppressed in the switching operation, resulting in reducing di/dt noise derived from a parasitic inductor 102.
