Abstract
A voltage regulator includes first and second bias circuits, a transistor, and a load prediction circuit. The transistor has a first current electrode coupled to a first power supply voltage terminal, a second current electrode for providing a regulated output voltage, and a control electrode. The first biasing circuit is for providing a first bias voltage to the control electrode of the transistor in response to a feedback signal generated from the regulated output voltage. The second biasing circuit is for providing a second bias voltage to the control electrode of the transistor in response to a control signal. The load current prediction circuit is coupled to the second biasing circuit. The load prediction circuit is for providing the control signal to the second biasing circuit in response to determining that a load current at the second current electrode is expected to increase.
