A low-noise voltage regulator circuit with quick disablement includes an
amplifier for outputting a driving voltage according to a reference
voltage, a feedback voltage on a feedback node, and an enable signal; an
output transistor coupled among the amplifier, an output node, and a
first voltage source for outputting an output voltage at the output node;
a first discharge transistor having a first size and coupled among the
enable signal, the output node, and the feedback node; and a second
discharge transistor having a second size being different than the first
size and coupled among the enable signal, the feedback node, and a second
voltage source; wherein when the enable signal disables the amplifier,
the enable signal turns on the first discharge transistor and the second
discharge transistor such that the output voltage is quickly pulled down
to close a level provided by the second voltage source.
