The Intelligent Future of Digital Power Supplies (Download)
All electronics engineers want the same things out of their systems: faster speeds, smaller footprints, and enhanced power. This drive places increasingly stringent demands on power supplies, which must now deliver more power from ever more compact designs while maintaining superior efficiency, reliability, and control.
Historically, power supplies were often regarded as mere “dumb boxes” solely responsible for converting alternating current (AC) from a single- or three-phase source and delivering a stable DC voltage to electronic devices. However, the rise of fully digital architectures is changing that outlook. They’re elevating power supplies to intelligent components that can provide critical insights into the overall health of the power supply itself as well as the application it’s integrated into.
