ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a voltage regulator particularly suitable for powering a submicron DRAM. The regulator relies on a feed forward approach in which current to a load is controlled by a differential amplifier which provides a control signal to a current regulating transistor based on the difference in a voltage sensed at the regulator output and a reference voltage. The control signal is also suppied to a current sensing circuit which provides a signal for adaptively biasing the tail current of the differential amplifier during peak current drain periods.
