Reductions of up to 50% in DC/DC converter solution size

There has been a step up in step-downs, with the introduction of the LTC7821 from Analog Devices, the Power by Linear.

An industry first according to the company, this hybrid step-down synchronous controller is designed to merge a switched capacitor circuit with a synchronous step-down controller, enabling up to a 50% reduction in DC/DC converter solution size compared to traditional step-down solutions.
