    摘要: An embodiment of a system is disclosed, including an inductor, a voltage regulating circuit, a load, and a current detecting circuit. The inductor includes a first wire, a second wire, and a third wire. The third wire is between, and may be inductively coupled to, the first wire and the second wire. The voltage regulating circuit is coupled to a first end of the first wire and a first end of the second wire. The voltage regulating circuit is configured to generate a first current through the first wire and a second current through the second wire. The load is coupled to a second end of the first wire and a second end of the second wire. The current detecting circuit, coupled to ends of the third wire, is configured to generate an output signal based on a third current through the third wire.
