A current detector detects a current flowing through a high-side switch to output a current detection signal. When the current detection signal is lower than an error signal which is generated based on the difference between an output voltage and a reference voltage, a comparator outputs a signal. A timer outputs a signal a predetermined time after the high-side switch is turned ON. When the timer outputs the signal and the comparator outputs the signal, the high-side switch is turned OFF.

A method of regulating an output voltage by utilizing a switching regulator, where the switching regulator includes a high side switch, a low side switch having an active diode, a controller coupled to the high side switch and the low side switch, and a current measuring circuit coupled to the high side switch.
