Abstract
A control integrated circuit for a voltage regulator has a feedback pin, a switching control pin, a current control pin, and a control circuit. The feedback pin receives a voltage feedback signal representative of an output voltage of the voltage regulator. The switching control pin provides a switching control signal to turn on and turn off at least one switch of the voltage regulator. The current control pin is coupled to a current exhausting circuit. The control circuit provides the switching control signal based on the voltage feedback signal and a reference voltage, to control the current exhausting circuit via the current control pin to change an output current of the voltage regulator, and to determine if the voltage regulator is likely to be damaged based on the voltage feedback signal during changing of the output current.
