The present disclosure relates to a low-dropout regulator that limits a quiescent current. It mainly includes an error amplifier, an output switching transistor, a feedback switching transistor, a current duplicating circuit, and a clamping current source. The clamping current source is added between an input voltage and the feedback switching transistor, so that a feedback current outputted by the feedback switching transistor is clamped, and the highest value is only proportional to a current value of the clamping current source. In this way, the quiescent current outputted by the low-dropout regulator is no longer increasing indefinitely in proportional to a load current, which can effectively solve the technical problems of poor stability and decreased efficiency caused by the infinite increase of the quiescent current.

A direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converter can include a chip embedded integrated circuit (IC), one or more switches, and an inductor. The IC can be embedded in a PCB. The IC can include driver, switches, and PWM controller. The IC and/or switches can include eGaN. The inductor can be stacked above the IC and/or switches, reducing an overall footprint. One or more capacitors can also be stacked above the IC and/or switches. Vias can couple the inductor and/or capacitors to the IC (e.g., to the switches). The DC-DC converter can offer better transient performance, have lower ripples, or use fewer capacitors. Parasitic effects that prevent efficient, higher switching speeds are reduced. The inductor size and overall footprint can be reduced. Multiple inductor arrangements can improve performance. Various feedback systems can be used, such as a ripple generator in a constant on or off time modulation circuit.
