Amplifier having transconductance attenuation

A voltage regulator, comprising:

• a first transistor having a first control input, a first current terminal, and a second current terminal;
• an error amplifier including:
• a first stage circuit including a first resistor, a second resistor, and a differential input pair of transistors, at least one transistor of the differential input pair of transistors coupled to the second current terminal;
• and
• a second stage circuit coupled to the first and second resistors, the second stage circuit having an error amplifier output coupled to the first control input, the second stage circuit configured to cause less current to flow through the second stage circuit than a current that flows through either of the first or second resistors or the differential input pair of transistors.

A circuit, comprising:

• a first transistor having a first control input, a first current terminal, and a second current terminal;
• a second transistor having a second control input, a third current terminal, and a fourth current terminal;
• a first resistor coupled to a supply voltage terminal;
• a second resistor coupled to the supply voltage terminal;
• a third transistor having a third control input, a fifth current terminal, and a sixth current terminal, the fifth current terminal coupled to the first resistor and to the first current terminal;
• and
• a fourth transistor having a fourth control input, a seventh current terminal, and an eighth current terminal, the seventh current terminal coupled to the second resistor and to the third current terminal.
