A novel approach for providing microprocessor power directly from 48V is proposed. This solution enables high voltage, low current to be distributed throughout a system, minimizing distribution losses, while providing low voltage, high current direct from the 48V input in the most efficient manner possible.
This solution...

With the recent rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), 14 billion devices are now connected. However, the growth of this is also significant, by 2020 it is predicted that over 50 billion devices will be connected. With these devices connected, systems are opened up for remote access and control. In turn, this has shown...
