Abstract
A safe and low-cost voltage regulator is provided through simplification of a circuit configuration of a protection circuit. The voltage regulator has a configuration in which current output of the protection circuit, which serves as a signal indicating that the protection circuit has started to operate, is input to a control circuit configured to improve responsiveness of the voltage regulator.
