An integrated circuit controls a switch of a switching current regulator. The current regulator comprises primary and secondary windings where a first and a second current flow, respectively. The switch is adapted to initiate or interrupt the circulation of the first current in the primary winding. The control integrated circuit comprises a comparator configured to compare a first signal representative of said first current to a second signal and a divider circuit configured to generate said second signal as a ratio of a third signal, proportional to a voltage on the primary winding, with a voltage on a capacitor. The capacitor is charged by a further current controlled by the third signal when the second current is different from zero. The capacitor is discharged through a parallel-connected resistor when the value of said second current is substantially zero.
