A method for operating a voltage regulator is disclosed. The voltage regulator includes a first transistor and a second transistor, wherein a source of the first transistor is coupled to a supply rail, a drain of the first transistor is coupled to an output of the voltage regulator, a source of the second transistor is coupled to the output of the voltage regulator, and a drain of the second transistor is coupled to a gate of the first transistor via a feedback path. The method includes generating a current, passing the current through a resistor and a third transistor to generate a reference voltage, adjusting a resistance of the third transistor based on an output voltage at the output of the voltage regulator, and inputting the reference voltage to a gate of the second transistor.
