Abstract
An example embodiment is directed to a voltage regulation circuit. The voltage regulation circuit comprises a first control loop and a second control loop that are separately activatable. The first control loop regulates an output current provided to an output terminal, and the second control loop regulates an output voltage provided to the output terminal. The voltage regulation circuit further includes a mode switching circuit that switches operation between the first and the second control loops by separately activating one of the first and second control loops and deactivating the other in response to a fault condition at the output terminal at which a regulated load is connectable.
