A voltage regulator comprising two feedback loops for regulating a load
voltage, where the first feedback loop comprises a pass transistor to
source current to the load, and the second feedback loop comprises a
shunt transistor to shunt current from the pass transistor to ground. The
use of two feedback loops allows the design of a voltage regulator in
which it small-signal impedance, as seen by a power rail, has a phase not
less than -90 degrees. This mitigates interactions between the power rail
and the voltage regulator that may lead to oscillations, without the need
for a relatively large de-coupling capacitor. Other embodiments are
described and claimed.
