Abstract: A hybrid regulator circuit and a method for regulating an output voltage. The hybrid regulator circuit includes a switching regulator, a linear regulator, a selector circuit, and an output capacitor which is shared by the switching regulator and the linear regulator. The selector circuit activates the linear regulator to provide a light load current. When the load current increases to a first predetermined level, the selector circuit activates the switching regulator and the linear regulator remains activated until the switching regulator ramps up to provide a sufficient amount of current so that the regulated output voltage does not droop or sag below a desired level. The selector circuit then deactivates the linear regulator. When the load current decreases to another predetermined level, the selector circuit reactivates the linear regulator and deactivates the switching regulator.
