Abstract
A voltage regulator is disclosed. The voltage regulator has a voltage generation circuit that outputs a regulated voltage and a load current. The voltage regulation circuit has a sensing circuit that senses a peak magnitude of the load current and stores a peak signal that is based on the peak load current magnitude. The sensing circuit receives at least one signal that is input to the voltage regulation circuit and senses the peak magnitude of the load current. The voltage regulation circuit has a current generation circuit that generates a compensation current that has a magnitude that is proportional to the peak load current magnitude. The current generation circuit generates the compensation current based on the peak signal. The compensation current is provided during a time interval that is defined by at least one signal that is input to the voltage regulation circuit.
