Abstract:
A voltage regulator is presented. The output node of the voltage regulator is coupled to an output capacitor via a conductive path that exhibits a parasitic inductance. The voltage regulator has an output amplification stage for deriving the output current at the output node from the input voltage at the input node in dependence of a drive voltage at an intermediate node of the voltage regulator. The voltage regulator has an intermediate amplification stage for providing the drive voltage at the intermediate node based on a differential output voltage. A differential amplification stage determines the differential output voltage in dependence of the output voltage and in dependence of a reference voltage. The voltage regulator has a sensing unit to provide a load indication which is indicative of the output current and a variable impedance coupled to the intermediate node, where the variable impedance is dependent on the load indication.

Claim (Index 7):
The voltage regulator of  claim 1 , wherein\n the output capacitor and the parasitic inductance form an LC circuit with an LC resonance frequency; the voltage regulator excluding the variable impedance has a frequency-dependent open loop gain for an output current at or above a threshold current, which exhibits a peak around the LC resonance frequency; and the variable impedance is such that the open loop gain of the voltage regulator including the variable impedance\n exhibits a reduced peak or no peak around the LC resonance frequency for an output current at or above the threshold current; and \n corresponds to the open loop gain of the voltage regulator excluding the variable impedance for an output current below the threshold current.
