Abstract:
Various embodiments efficiently detect the presence of an external capacitor electrically coupled to the output of a voltage regulator by perturbing the voltage output of the voltage regulator while the regulator is in operation and supplying, or ready to supply, regulated voltage to a load, and detecting the reaction of the regulator's output.
