A method, apparatus, and system are described in which a hybrid of two standard types of voltage regulators is formed. The hybrid voltage regulator may share a switching waveform with a switching waveform generator already in use on the circuit board, which may be a switching voltage regulator. This switching waveform acts as a control waveform for the hybrid voltage regulator, thus eliminating the need for another controller. The hybrid voltage regulator combines the functionality of a linear voltage regulator and a switching voltage regulator into one circuit. The shared switching waveform controls during operation as a switching voltage regulator. A second control waveform is generated by a control amplifier, which compares the regulated output voltage to a reference voltage. The second control waveform controls during operation as a linear voltage regulator.
