DC - DC Converter Modules and ICs: Market Forces, Power Architectures, and Technology Developments
Although driven by obvious factors such as cost and efficiencythe real changes occurring in the dc-dc converter module and IC market are at the power architecture and advanced materials levels. The emergence of the Dynamic Bus Architecture (DBA) isin factone of the most significant developments in the power supply industry in 10 years. The DBA is already being designed into some high-end systemsand widespread adoption is expected in the next few years.
