Patent ID: 7202645

Claim:
A power supply regulating circuit operably coupled between a DC power source and an active load, the DC power source including a positive terminal and a negative terminal, the power supply regulating circuit comprising: a plurality of elements coupled in series between said positive and negative terminals of said power source, said elements including at least one resistor and a transconductive element that are operably coupled together at an output node that is connected to the active load, said transconductive element comprising a three terminal device, wherein a voltage level is supplied to a second terminal and current flows between first and third terminals of an amount substantially equal to said voltage level times a characteristic transconductance value of T, and said at least one resistor providing a resistance substantially equal to 1/T, whereby said at least one resistor and said transconductance element cooperate to provide for stabilization of the voltage level at the output node for supply to the active load connected thereto.
