ABSTRACT:
A regulator circuit of the output voltage produced by a voltage boost circuit, capable of generating a hysteretic control logic signal of the boost circuit, comprises a sensing branch comprising at least an inverting stage including an enhanced threshold load transistor of a first type of conductivity and a complementary natural transistor, and a nonvolatile memory element functionally connected in series with the complementary inverting stage between the two supply nodes. A biasing branch, enabled by a start signal of the boost circuit, generates a first voltage higher than the threshold voltage of the load transistor, and a second voltage higher than the threshold voltage of the natural transistor. A circuit portion enabled by the start signal applies to a control terminal of the nonvolatile memory element a voltage representative of the regulated output voltage produced by the boost circuit. One or more inverters are coupled in cascade to the inverting stage to produce the required logic signal.
