Abstract
A method for operating a system including a voltage regulating power supply includes sensing a local voltage on a first node of the system and a remote voltage on a second node of the system. The first node and the second node are in a conductive path coupled to a load of the system. The first node is closer to a power stage of the voltage regulating power supply than the second node. The second node is closer to the load than the first node. The method includes detecting a load release event based on the local voltage, the remote voltage, and at least one predetermined threshold value.
