Abstract
A voltage regulator, comprising: an input terminal; an output terminal at which an output voltage is provided; an output transistor which couples the input terminal of the voltage regulator to the output terminal of the voltage regulator; and a transimpedance amplifier including an input terminal which is coupled to the output terminal of the voltage regulator and an output terminal which is coupled to a control terminal of the output transistor, optionally via a coupling, the coupling having an impedance value between the output terminal of the transimpedance amplifier and the control terminal of the output transistor which at a given frequency is smaller than or equal to an impedance value of an output impedance of the transimpedance amplifier.
