Stabilized voltage regulator circuit, particularly for use with a serially connected PNP transistor

TLDR
In this article, a control loop consisting of a serially connected PNP transistor, a reference voltage generator, a voltage divider, and a comparator-amplifier is used to provide an error control signal.
Abstract
To permit low differences between regulated output voltage and unregulated input voltage, for example in the order of only 200mV, a control loop formed of a serially connected PNP transistor 11, a reference voltage generator 15, a voltage divider 13 connected across the regulated output, and a comparator-amplifier 14 comparing the output taken from the voltage divider 13 and the reference and providing an error control signal has a second control loop connected thereto which includes a transistor and a current sensing resistor connected to the base of the control transistor 11 and a second comparator comparing the actual current flow through the transistor 18 and the error signal to stabilize the control transistor. A switching network 16 can be additionally connected to modify or affect the error signal applied to the second control loop.
