Abstract

A voltage regulator may include an operational-amplifier section, a capacitor connected to an output of the operational-amplifier section, and a switch configured to connect the capacitor to a voltage supply. The switch is configured to charge the capacitor before activating the operational-amplifier section. The capacitor is configured to store charge to supplement current being supplied from the operational-amplifier section. The voltage regulator may be used to supply power to non-volatile memory cells.
