Abstract
The systems and methods describe a buck regulator, on-chip inductor and/or power management circuits. A buck regulator circuit can include a first switch and a second switch connected with a resonant switching circuit. The resonant switching circuit includes an inductor, a first capacitor and a second capacitor configured to reduce a switching power from a switching frequency of the buck regulator.
