I can not give you an application-note but any rule of tumps to realize a regulator with very low output-resistance: 1. DC ----- The most important thing is remote-sensing from +DC and GND from powered device back to the regulator. The openloopgain of regula- tor-amplifier must be very high. This is by using of modern opams no problem. 2. AC (Low-Frequency) --------------------- For high speed regulation it's important to use an opamp with a high gbw and also a high slewrate to result of a low output- impedance. 2. AC (High-Frequency) ---------------------- For a low impedance with highfrequency you must close a capacitor very near parallel to the powered device. The capacitor must have a very very low inductance. I know that's easy said. To build this circuit is not easy. I constructed much power-supply-devices, but no one with such less impedance. I wish you good luck and let e-mail me if you have a solution. I am interested. Greeting from Thomas
