Abstract
A linear regulator includes a pass element, an error amplifier, and a miller compensation circuit. The error amplifier is configured to provide an error signal to the control terminal of the pass element in response to a reference voltage and a feedback voltage. The error amplifier includes a current mirror stage and a first stage. The current mirror stage is configured to receive the input voltage. The first stage is configured to provide a first current signal to a first terminal of the current mirror stage in response to the reference voltage, and provide a second current signal to a second terminal of the current mirror stage in response to the feedback voltage. The miller compensation circuit is coupled between the second terminal of the pass element and the error amplifier. The miller compensation circuit is configured to control the first current signal.
