A "linear voltage regulator", usually called a "linear regulator", accomplishes the same goal by holding a transistor in its active region, somewhere between full on or full off.

[[Basic Voltage Regulators]] are generally linear regulators.
 
  
 
[[The 723 Voltage Regulator]] can be used as either a linear or a switching regulator.

In practice, it seems that many switchers are "flyback" converters -- although some people say that Cuk converters are better than flyback converters; some even go so far as to say that Cuk converters are the "optimum topology".

A [[maximum power point tracker]] has many similarities to a switching voltage regulator.
