Abstract
A linear voltage regulator includes a voltage input and a voltage output. The linear voltage regulator includes a buffer having a voltage node, an input node, an output node and a control node and a power transistor having a control node coupled to the output node of the buffer, an input node coupled to the voltage input and an output node coupled to the voltage output. The linear voltage regulator includes a dropout detection module having a control node coupled to the control node of the power transistor, a voltage input node coupled to the voltage input, a voltage output node coupled to the voltage output and an output node. The linear voltage regulator includes a feedforward module having an input node coupled to the output node of the dropout detection module and an output node coupled to the control node of the buffer.
