Abstract
A regulator is provided with circtuiry for restraining a variation in a frequency band and to provide a transient response characteristic which does not depend upon load current. A load current detecting transistor is connected in parallel with an output driver transistor of the regulator to detect load current. The ON resistance of a transistor of a phase compensation RC network is varied in accordance with current variations detected by the load current detecting transistor. As a result, a frequency of a zero point for phase compenstation of the RC network is varied so that the frequency band of the regulator does not vary with load current and the transient response characteristic of the regulator is improved.
