Digital Power Control Impacts Power Design on Many Levels (Part 1)

Focus:

Use of digital power control is on the rise as it finds its way into more and more applications, a wider range of power levels, and even high-volume applications where cost barriers may have prevented its entry in the past. Although volumes are still low for many digital power designs, the field is growing and as it does, it is changing the way power components, power supplies, and power systems are designed. Consequently, the mix of skills required to design these products is also changing. In the first part of this article, we’ll look at the impact of digital power supply controller ICs on the types of skills and experience required in power design. (See pages 46-50 of source PDF.)
