    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide voltage regulating circuits which are power efficient, low noise, and substantially insensitive to changes in process technology, power supply voltage, and temperature. Such circuits may be used to provide the regulated voltage for a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), for example, as found in a radio frequency front end (RFFE). One example voltage regulating circuit generally includes a current source configured to supply or sink a reference current and a current mirror having a bias branch and a main branch, wherein the bias branch is connected with the current source, wherein the main branch includes a source follower to provide the regulated voltage, and wherein the reference current is available at a node for the regulated voltage.
