VOLTAGE REGULATOR WITH IMPROVED LOAD REGULATION

A voltage regulator comprises a ground node, a pick-off node, a regulator branch, a load branch, and a current mirror the regulator branch and the load branch are connected in parallel between the pick-off node and the ground node; the load branch comprises one or more resistive connecting lines that are connectable in series with the load to generate a load current through the load branch; the regulator branch comprises a bias node, a resistive element, and a tap node; the bias node is arranged to provide a regulated bias voltage; the resistive element is connected between the bias node and the pick-off node; and the tap node is connected between the bias node and the resistive element. The current mirror is connected to the tap node and arranged to draw a mirror current from the tap node; the mirror current having a component that is proportional to the load current.
