Method and system for maintaining output voltage regulation of a non-synchronous switching regulator providing a voltage supply to a main load. The method includes determining, using an electronic processor, that the main load is transitioning from a first load state to a second load state. The method also includes connecting, using the electronic processor, a switchable load to the non-synchronous switching regulator in response to determining that the main load is transitioning from the first load state to the second load state.
