Abstract
A linear regulator is presented. It comprises a first amplifier stage, one of the inputs being coupled with the output of the linear regulator. It has an intermediate amplifier stage. The input of the intermediate amplifier stage is coupled to the output of the first amplifier stage. It has a driver stage having a pass device driven by the output of the driver stage. The output of the pass device provides the output of the linear regulator. The regulator has a voltage-to-current feedback circuit coupled with the driver stage and the output of the first amplifier stage for regulating the output resistance of the first amplifier stage depending on load conditions of the linear regulator. The voltage-to-current feedback circuit has a transistor and a current limitation circuit to limit the regulation of the output resistance of the first amplifier stage to low load conditions of the linear regulator.
