What you are asking for is impossible. Any driver that's going to have different input and output voltages and operate with reasonable efficiency will require a coil or transformer. The only exception is the linear driver, where the output current cannot exceed the input current, and the efficiency cannot exceed Vout/Vin.
The coil/transformer is the basic element that allows (theoretically) lossless voltage/current transformation. Without it you are limited to linear regulators.

Note the coil (L1) in the example shown in the data sheet.

Linear Technologies makes modules with lots of stuff integrated, but they are a b___h to solder, and not cheap. I saw the other day that someone else is making them too, but I forget who.
