1. A rapid turn-on voltage regulator comprising:
- amplifier means, including negative feedback, for providing a regulated voltage source at an output thereof,a power source coupled to said amplifier means;
a current source coupled to said amplifier means and said power source for providing a relatively small bias current to said amplifier means; and
current pulse generating means coupled to said amplifier means and said power source for providing a pulse of current which is large relative to the bias current, to said amplifier means to rapidly bring said amplifier means to an operating level.
