A voltage regulator having an input voltage and adapted to supply a
regulated output voltage, the regulator including an AB class amplifier
and a power transistor having a non-drivable terminal coupled to the
input voltage, a non-drivable terminal coupled to a reference voltage and
a drivable terminal coupled to the output terminal of the amplifier; the
amplifier is adapted to amplify the voltage difference between a further
reference voltage and a fraction of the regulated voltage.
