A low-dropout regulator including a first comparator, an edge trigger, a second comparator, a third comparator, and an output stage circuit is provided. The first comparator generates a first comparison signal according to a first reference signal and an output signal. The edge trigger outputs a trigger signal according to the first comparison signal, a second comparison signal, and a third comparison signal. The second comparator generates the second comparison signal according to the output signal and a second reference signal. The third comparator generates the third comparison signal according to the output signal and a third reference signal. The output stage circuit outputs the output signal according to the first comparison signal, the second comparison signal, and the third comparison signal. The output stage circuit includes a plurality of hysteresis controllers and a plurality of power transistors. Each hysteresis controller controls a conduction state of a corresponding power transistor.
