DC/DC Converters with Integrated Magnetics Simplify Point-of-Load Power in Wireless Communication Equipment

摘要

Many architectural standards for communications equipment have fixed chassis sizes and power supply budgets. A point-of-load (POL) power solution that maintains high efficiency with a reduced size allows increased card density so that space savings translate into product differentiation. At the same time, designers must quickly solve technical problems during the development phase, and a simple power solution reduces burdens and brings peace-of-mind by allowing engineers to focus on their core competency. The introduction of DC/DC converters with inte-grated magnetics into a single encapsulated package addresses many of these challenges.
