Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication. In certain aspects, the apparatus generally includes a first interface configured to obtain, from a baseband module, a multiplexed signal comprising a control signal, a second interface configured to obtain a power signal, a radio frequency (RF) module, a regulator coupled to the second interface and configured to receive the power signal, and a circuit configured to provide the control signal to the regulator. In certain aspects, the regulator, in response to the control signal, may be configured to generate a supply voltage signal by regulating the power signal and provide the supply voltage signal to the RF module.
