A linear regulator operable from a source voltage provides a regulated voltage to a load. The linear regulator includes a bipolar device connected between the source voltage and the load with an output of the bipolar device connected to output the regulated voltage, a feedback amplifier connected in negative feedback relationship between the output of the bipolar device and a reference voltage so as to provide a stabilized voltage, and a capacitor amplification circuit connected between the stabilized voltage and the output of the bipolar device. The capacitive amplification circuit includes a MOSFET n-channel device connected to a base of the bipolar device so as to stabilize current flow from the base to the output of the bipolar device. The capacitor amplification circuit includes an amplifier and a capacitor connected in feedback relationship with the output of the linear regulator, with an output of the amplifier stage providing a reference signal to the gate of the MOSFET device. Most preferably, a 1:n current mirror provides even greater current independence for the frequency characteristics of the linear regulator.
