<p>A voltage regulator (30) comprising a first power switch (16) connected between the input terminal (11) and output terminal (13); a storage condenser (21) connected to the input terminal via a one-way switch (18); a second power switch (19) connected between the condenser and the input terminal; and a regulating element (17) connected to the output terminal and driving the power switches (16, 19) in such a manner as to maintain the output voltage (Vo) constant. For better distributing electric and thermal stress and improving the reliability and working life of the regulator by reducing the interference caused by switching of the two power switches, a drive device (31) is provided between the regulating element (17) and the switches (16, 19), for detecting the input voltage (VA) and the voltage of the condenser (VA'), and keeping both switches on as long as the input voltage is above two given thresholds (VTH1, VTH2), turning off the second switch (19) when the input voltage is higher than the condenser voltage (VA > VA') and below the first threshold (VA < VTH1), and turning off the first switch (16) when the input voltage is lower than the condenser voltage (VA < VA') and below the second threshold (VA < VTH2). <IMAGE></p> |
