Abstract: A low-dropout regulator includes a power stage having an output terminal coupled to a load circuit operable in different operating modes in which it receives different output currents. An error amplifier has a first input coupled to a reference voltage and an output coupled to an input terminal of the power stage. A compensation circuit includes a first stage with an RC filter coupled to the input terminal of the power stage, and generating an initial compensation voltage. A second stage includes a first transistor coupled between a supply voltage and a second node, and controlled by a complementary control signal, a high-side capacitor coupled between the second node and ground, and a third transistor coupled between the initial compensation voltage and the second node, and controlled by a control signal representative of the current operating mode of the load circuit.
