Abstract
A current limiter and a charge pump regulator including the current limiter are provided. The charge pump regulator converts an input voltage to an output voltage and includes a feedback loop including a first transistor for regulating a discharge current from the charge pump regulator. The current limiter limits the current provided by the charge pump regulator. The current limiter includes a sampling block configured to sample a first drain-source voltage of the first transistor and hold it as a reference drain-source voltage; an adaptive tracking block configured to receive the reference drain-source voltage, and to generate a maximum voltage based on the reference drain-source voltage, so that the maximum voltage tracks the reference drain-source voltage; and a voltage clamp block configured to clamp a feedback voltage to the maximum voltage, and to provide the clamped voltage as a first gate-source voltage of the first transistor.
