A low drop-out voltage regulator, an integrated circuit, a sensor and a method of providing a regulated voltage are provided. The low drop-out voltage regulator comprises a regulated voltage driver for providing the regulated voltage in response to a control voltage, a feedback-loop circuit for generating the control signal such that the regulated voltage driving circuit provides the regulated voltage, and a pull-up circuit for pulling up the regulated voltage to a supply voltage when a difference between the supply voltage and the control voltage is smaller than a predetermined threshold value. In the feedback-loop circuit a first feedback voltage or a second feedback voltage is generated, respectively, on basis of a first ratio and a second ratio between the feedback voltage and the regulated voltage. The second feedback voltage is generated instead of the first feedback voltage when the regulated voltage is pulled-up to the supply voltage.
