Such systems require the highest reliability and efficiency to minimise operating costs and build industry integrity for the developer.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/mastering-power-modules-the-advantages-over-discrete-solutions/37468/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/digital-control-in-a-microtca-power-system/25095/A look at the significant performance enhancements made available by using digitally controlled DC/DC converters in a MicroTCA power system.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/digital-control-in-a-microtca-power-system/25095/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/digital-control-techniques-enabling-power-density-improvements-and-power-management-capabilities/25097/Digital control can be used as an enabling technology to offer performance, value, reliability and power density improvements to the end user. A system power management interface may also be added to a BMPS without compromising cost or packaging density.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/digital-control-techniques-enabling-power-density-improvements-and-power-management-capabilities/25097/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/digital-dc-dc-converter-benefits-in-microtca-power-modules/25098/Micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture (MicroTCA) is a relatively new architectural specification for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and industrial equipment intended for relatively small, low power applications where it can be more cost effective than other architectures. The key power assembly in MicroTCA is called the 'MicroTCA power module' , which, by its own definition has to deliver and secure the power required by Advanced Mezzanine Cards and other accessories that plug-into the MicroTCA enclosure.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/digital-dc-dc-converter-benefits-in-microtca-power-modules/25098/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/digital-dc-dc-converter-family-integrates-pmbus-connectivity/25099/Able to work with any type of power converter, PMBus is a major success story. Its simple SMBus-based two-wire hardware interface is similar to and generally compatible with I2C, while the improved signaling protocols assure greater robustness. As a result, system designers can easily implement power management strategies that range from voltage sequencing or multi-voltage logic devices to monitoring and controlling entire systems using a uniform approach that has minimal impact upon resources.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/digital-dc-dc-converter-family-integrates-pmbus-connectivity/25099/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/digital-techniques-in-power-conversion/25108/The concept of "digital power" has received significant attention and promotion in the past few years, from both semiconductor suppliers and power supply manufacturers. There is a need to explain the concepts of digital power; explore the advantages and tradeoffs of digital techniques compared to analogue approaches; discuss some of the standardisation directions; and explore the possibilities for digital power.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/digital-techniques-in-power-conversion/25108/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/from-digital-confusion-to-digital-conversion/25101/It is now several years since commercial products with 'added digital performance' aiming to revolutionise the on-board power industry have been around in the marketplace. The debate around how such products will change the face of the world has never been so intense, resulting in a certain kind of confusion.http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/from-digital-confusion-to-digital-conversion/25101/http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/power-electronics-whitepapers/implications-of-digital-control-and-management-for-a-high-performance-isolated-dc-dc-converter/25102/Digital control implemented in an isolated DC/DC converter provides equal or better performance compared to an analogue design.

At a time when energy efficiency and power consumption are becoming more strategic than ever, the debate around how "digital power" will change the face of the world has never been so intense. Energised by the high marketing buzz surrounding 'the new power revolution', thousand of papers have often strongly expressed the details and benefits of implementing such technology. However, a certain market perception gives the feeling that behind the noise generated by the media, digital power seems not to have moved as fast as expected.
