Abstract
A voltage regulator system is disclosed that has its input connected to a first supply voltage and has its output voltage at an output supplied during normal operation via a feedback line to an input of an integrated circuit with a drive for monitoring and regulating the output voltage to a predetermined, first voltage value with the drive, whereby a circuit arrangement for detecting an interruption of the feedback line is provided, and whereby, when an interruption occurs, a switch is made at the output from the predetermined, first voltage value to a predetermined, second voltage value.
Claims14
A voltage regulator system comprising:
- an integrated circuit, comprising:
- an input;
- a drive for monitoring and regulating an output voltage to a predetermined first voltage value;
- and
- a circuit arrangement for detecting an interruption of a feedback line;
- and
- a voltage regulator, comprising:
- an input that is connected to a first supply voltage;
- an output at which said output voltage is supplied during normal operation via said feedback line to said input of said integrated circuit, and at which said output voltage is switched from said predetermined first voltage value to a predetermined second voltage value when said interruption occurs.
