Abstract
A circuit provides a regulated voltage supply for other circuits. The circuit includes a bias current source and a reference voltage source. The circuit includes a pass transistor and a feedback transistor. The pass transistor receives input from the feedback transistor that generates a regulated voltage at a terminal of the pass transistor. The feedback transistor receives inputs from the regulated voltage of the pass transistor and the reference voltage source. The feedback transistor provides voltage for the input of the pass transistor, thereby controlling the regulated voltage generated by the pass transistor. The regulated voltage generated by the pass transistor is provided as a regulated voltage supply to other circuits.
