Abstract
A voltage regulator with load pole stabilization is disclosed. The voltage regulator consists of an output stage, a comparator stage, and an active load. The active load draws current from the output of the voltage regulator inversely proportional to the current demand on the voltage regulator. When the output current demand is low, the active load draws relatively low current. When the output current demand is large, the active load draws a relatively large amount of current. Consequently, the disclosed voltage regulator has high stability without consuming excess power.
