A regulator device includes a first switch, a second switch, and a controlling circuit. A control terminal of the first switch is configured to receive a first control signal. A first terminal of the second switch is coupled with a second terminal of the first switch at a node. A control terminal of the second switch is configured to receive a second control signal. The controlling circuit is coupled to the control terminal of the first switch, the control terminal of the second switch, and the node. The controlling circuit outputs the first control signal with a first slope to the first switch during a first period, and outputs the first control signal with a second slope to the first switch during a second period. The first period is less than the second period, and the first slope is larger than the second slope.

Regulator device and control method thereof

A regulator device includes a first switch, a second switch, a protecting circuit, and a driving circuit. The first switch is configured to receive power supply voltage. One terminal of the second switch and the first switch are coupled at a node. The other terminal of the second switch is coupled to ground. The protecting circuit is coupled to the node, and outputs at least one protecting signal according to the turn on/off state of the first switch and the second switch and the voltage of the node. The driving circuit is coupled to the first switch, the second switch, and the protecting circuit, and turns off the first switch or the second switch according the at least one protecting signal.
