A load circuit of a low-dropout (LDO) regulator is disclosed herein according to certain aspects. The load circuit includes a field effect transistor having a source coupled to a supply rail, a gate, and a drain coupled to a gate of a pass transistor of the LDO regulator. The load circuit also includes an adjustable voltage source coupled between the drain and the gate of the field effect transistor, and a voltage control circuit configured to detect a change in a current load through the pass transistor, and to adjust a voltage of the adjustable voltage source based on the detected change in the current load.
