Discrete Power Design vs. Modules

Discrete Power Design vs.Modules

Renesas Electronics Corporation

This presentation will discuss complex discrete power supply challenges, and the challenges and the benefits of using power supply modules. It will review an example of the cost savings in an application utilizing a ISL8203M module vs. a discrete design. The tutorial will highlight the improved efficiency and thermal performance of the modules and present the demonstration board available for evaluation.
