Figure 1: Conventional Intermediate Bus Architectures use a fixed-ratio isolated bus converter (IBC) to step down 48V to a 12V intermediate rail, which then feeds niPOL converters
AI processors can draw up to thousands of amps while operating at voltages well below 1V. This current demand is unprecedented and has turned the power delivery network (PDN) into a major system bottleneck.
With every amp pushed through PCB or substrate copper power planes, conductive losses and, thermal m
A security evaluation should help you to understand your risks. Risks are situations or properties of a system that expose things that you care about to danger or loss. For example, security problems in your product may expose you to a financial liability or cause your customers to stop trusting you and hence bu
No longer just a device you’d only see in a cool science fiction movie (thank you James Bond 007, Minority Report, and Dick Tracy!) and only dream about using, wearable devices are here to stay. In the beginning, they were as simple as a walking or running step counter (a.k.a. a pedometer). However, over a sh
Poised to deliver incredible efficiency, safety, and convenience improvements across all market sectors and applications, the Internet of Things (IoT) is experiencing rapid and widespread growth. In fact, Gartner estimates that 20.8 billion IoT devices will be in active operation by 2020 [1].
