1. A controlling method applied in a voltage regulator, which is driven by a driving voltage provided by a charge pump, the controlling method comprising:
generating a first current signal and a second current signal according to the driving voltage;
determining whether the voltage level of the driving voltage reaches a predetermined voltage level according to the second current signal; and
generating a control signal according to the second current signal,
wherein, the control signal is fed back to the charge pump to control the charge pump.
