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.
