Abstract
A switching voltage regulator provides a regulated voltage at an output terminal. The switching voltage regulator includes a MOS transistor having a non-drivable terminal coupled with the output terminal and a control circuit receiving a signal that is representative of the current signal flowing in the MOS transistor. The control circuit includes a compensation device adapted for cancelling the thermal variation of the signal that is representative of the current signal flowing in the MOS transistor.
