    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to supply a method and a circuit simple and accurate enough to protect at least one transistor against exceeding a complex limit implying processing of multiple electrical quantities associated with said transistor. Since in many practical cases said complex limit corresponds to the product of at least two quantities, typically a current and a voltage, the circuit in accordance with the present invention generates electrical signals basically proportional to said quantities, multiplies them, compares the product with a reference signal corresponding to the limit placed on the transistor and acts on the transistor in such a way that said limit is not exceeded. Advantageously the multiplication of currents can be provided simply by means of connection in series of bipolar transistor junctions at which said currents are supplied to the respective emitters. In this case it is additionally advantageous to generate the reference signal by means of connection in series of the bipolar transistor junctions in such a manner as to have an analogous behaviour of the multiplier and the generator.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a voltage regulator connected between first (VS) and second (GND) voltage references and having an output terminal (O1) for delivering a regulated output voltage (Vout), which voltage regulator comprises at least one voltage divider (11), connected between the output terminal (O1) and the second voltage reference (GND), and a serial output element (18) connected between the output terminal (O1) and the first voltage reference (VS), the voltage divider (11) being connected to the serial output element (18) by a first conduction path which includes at least one error amplifier (EA) of the regulated output voltage (Vout) whose output is connected to at least one driver (DR) for turning off the serial output element (18), the voltage regulator comprising, between the voltage divider (11) and the serial output element (18), at least a second conduction path for turning off the serial output element (18) according to the value of the regulated output voltage (Vout), in advance of the action of the first conduction path. The invention also concerns a method of turning off a serial output element (18) as a regulated output voltage (Vout) from a voltage regulator (10) changes.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting an open load by means of a driver having at least one main power transistor (M10) connected to the load (L) and one auxiliary transistor (M11) connected in parallel with the main transistor (M10) between a first power supply voltage reference (Vs) and a second voltage reference (GND), the method providing a comparison between a first voltage (VIN1) present on a terminal (S10) connected to the load of the main transistor (M10) and a second voltage (VIN2) present on a terminal (S11) of the auxiliary transistor (M11). The invention also relates to a circuit for detecting an open load (L), in which the said method is implemented.
