Digitally controlled power: high performance analog solutions from Linear Technology.(Advertisement)

EDN, February, 2006

There is considerable diversity under the "digital power" umbrella. Most solutions address the power supply telemetry needs of complex systems such as networking, telecom and high availability systems. Products supporting these applications provide digital communications, sophisticated monitoring and control of the power supply. Also under the "digital power" umbrella are power supply controllers that utilize digital processing within the regulation loop. Use of digital signal processing has been proposed at various times over the years. But the need for measuring load currents and voltages, the need for better than 1% regulation accuracy and the convenience of digital communication are driving the creation of integrated solutions specifically tailored for power supply...
