Abstract
A voltage regulator having an output terminal adapted to being connected to a load, including a device for limiting the current flowing through the load to a first threshold current if the voltage of the output terminal is lower than a threshold voltage, and to a second current threshold higher than the first current threshold if the voltage of the output terminal is greater than the threshold voltage.
