Digital power is an energy conversion system in which digital control techniques are applied to power management applications where monitoring, communication and supervisor functions come as an extension of the main digital control loop or in conjunction of the main analog control loop. From low- to high-power applications, digital power management and control, mainly applied to Switched-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), increases power density, enables faster control loops, better system-level integration and design flexibility, improves system-level reliability, monitoring and safety, and helps reduce time-to-market. Overall, digital power control enhances system efficiency. ---ST
What is Digital Power?
Digital power is one of the most important technologies for reducing power consumption and managing the growing power complexity in modern electronic systems.
The Benefits of Digital Power
Increasingly complex yet reliable power distribution systems such as data servers, network equipment and basestations often need many voltage rails, which are required to sequence or track other rails to properly bias microprocessors, microcontrollers (MCUs), ASICs, FPGAs and any other digital logic ICs that are present in the system. To maximize the performance of these systems under various operating conditions and reduce the overall power consumption, varying the voltages and controlling the operation mode of power converters becomes a basic requirement. Digitally managing the power conversion and power delivery sequencing also becomes essential for any high performance system.
Enables intelligent power management to maximize system performance。
Reduces development time of system products。
Reduces system BOM costs while improving reliability and product lifespan。
Enables compact system design and product upgrade within the same chassis。
