Abstract
One example discloses a voltage regulator, including: a power supply input; a regulated voltage output; an output transistor coupled to the power supply input and the regulated voltage output; and a current amplifier coupled between the power supply input and the regulated voltage output; wherein the current amplifier is configured to supply a second current from the power supply input to the regulated voltage output when a first current between the power supply input and the output transistor exceeds a threshold current.
