Abstract
A voltage regulator for generating a constant output voltage. The voltage regulator includes an output stage having an internal feedback loop connected to control a current delivered to or received from a load to maintain the output voltage substantially constant relative to an internal reference voltage. The voltage regulator further includes a second feedback loop connected to control the internal reference voltage to cause the output voltage to track an external reference voltage.
