Techniques for controlling a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator. In an example, an LDO voltage regulator circuit includes an amplifier having an output coupled to a transistor. First and second inputs of the amplifier are coupled to a power supply node via first and second resistors, respectively. The transistor gate is coupled to the amplifier output, the transistor source is coupled to the second input of the amplifier, and the transistor drain is coupled to a reference voltage node. The second resistor is variable based on the amplifier output and a reference voltage from the reference voltage node. In an example, the reference voltage node is connectable to ground via a reference resistor connected in parallel with a noise-filtering capacitor, which causes a reference current to flow through the transistor. The reference current is adjusted based on the drain-to-source voltage of the transistor.
