Abstract
The invention relates to a control circuit for a hysteretic switching voltage regulator, which comprises a logic circuit driving an output stage; a hysteresis comparator comparing the voltage value at the output of the regulator with a reference voltage; a current sensor for sensing, through a comparator, the current drain of a load connected to the output of the regulator. This control circuit further comprises a device for adjusting the hysteresis range of the hysteresis comparator, and a hysteresis frequency sensing and controlling logic portion connected to the output of the hysteresis comparator, the logic portion acting on the frequency adjusting device.
