Zusammenfassung: | A power regulator has an input terminal arranged to receive an input voltage, an output terminal arranged to output an output voltage, a transistor connected to the input terminal and to the output terminal, a feedback terminal arranged to receive a feedback voltage having a predetermined relationship with the output voltage, a control circuit configured to control the transistor based on the feedback voltage at the feedback terminal and a reference voltage so as to keep the output voltage constant (equal to a first voltage), and an open detection circuit configured to detect an open state of the feedback terminal and, on detecting the open state, to vary the reference voltage and thereby keep the transistor in an OFF state (or a voltage holding circuit configured to hold the output voltage constant at a second voltage lower than the first voltage when the feedback terminal is in an open state). |
