Abstract
A voltage regulator circuit includes: an output transistor MP.sub.X coupled between a voltage supply node V.sub.CC and an output node V.sub.OUT ; an amplifier A.sub.1 coupled to the output transistor MP.sub.X for controlling the response of the output transistor MP.sub.X ; feedback circuitry R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 connected between the output node V.sub.OUT and the amplifier A.sub.1, the feedback circuitry R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 providing feedback to the amplifier A.sub.1 ; and a pull-down circuit PD.sub.1 coupled to the output node V.sub.OUT.
