Abstract

A control device for a switching voltage regulator includes: a first detector of a first measurement signal indicative of a current flowing in a first side of the regulator, and providing a first comparison signal as a function of a first threshold; a second detector of a second measurement signal indicative of a current flowing in a second side of the regulator, and providing a second comparison signal as a function of a second threshold; a driving-signal generation circuit which generates a switching control signal from the first comparison signal to drive the switching circuit; a calibration circuit which receives an alert signal indicative of the first threshold, compares the alert signal and the second comparison signal, and provides a calibration signal in response; and a feedback circuit which provides a control signal as a function of an error signal and of the calibration signal.
