ABSTRACT:
An overcurrent protection circuit includes a current limiter and a status detector, and a voltage regulator includes an output transistor. The output transistor is configured to regulate a voltage input to an input terminal to output a given constant voltage from an output terminal, while passing a current from the input terminal to the output terminal according to a control signal applied thereto. The current limiter reduces the current passed through the output transistor when the passed current exceeds a given current limit. The status detector is configured to generate a status signal indicating operation of the current limiter. A constant voltage regulator incorporating the overcurrent protection circuit is also disclosed.
