Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a switching regulator including a switching transistor (6) far converting a d.c. input to an a.c. voltage, a first transistor (30) for driving said switching transistor (6), a second transistor (3) for detecting a variation in the level of the d.c. output voltage by comparison with a reference voltage and for controlling the switching operation of said first transistor (30) according to the detected variation, and a constant-voltage diode (40) for setting the operating level of said second transistor (Figure 3).
