    Abstract: A linear regulator with a pass device having a first terminal, a second terminal and a drive terminal is presented. The first terminal of the pass device is coupled with the supply voltage of the linear regulator. The second terminal of the pass device is coupled with the output of the linear regulator. A driver stage is coupled with the supply voltage of the linear regulator, and the drive terminal of the pass device drives the pass device with a driving voltage. A compensating circuit compensates for a change in a voltage difference between the drive terminal of the pass device and the supply voltage of the linear regulator.

    Abstract: A voltage regulator is presented. The output node of the voltage regulator is coupled to an output capacitor via a conductive path that exhibits a parasitic inductance. The voltage regulator has an output amplification stage for deriving the output current at the output node from the input voltage at the input node in dependence of a drive voltage at an intermediate node of the voltage regulator. The voltage regulator has an intermediate amplification stage for providing the drive voltage at the intermediate node based on a differential output voltage. A differential amplification stage determines the differential output voltage in dependence of the output voltage and in dependence of a reference voltage. The voltage regulator has a sensing unit to provide a load indication which is indicative of the output current and a variable impedance coupled to the intermediate node, where the variable impedance is dependent on the load indication.
