How to power nearly everything – Processors, FPGAs, ASICs – the easy way with high-frequency PowerSOC converters - The days of powering every chip on a board with a single 5 V or 3.3 V supply are long gone. Most complex ICs including processors, FPGAs, and ASICs require multiple supply voltages. Efficiently meeting the power needs of these devices becomes a complicated design challenge, but point-of-load (POL) converters can simplify these challenges....
