Why choose power modules over discrete power solutions?
There are many advantages of using power modules over home-grown discrete solutions. Learn how power modules can make your next design easier and faster
Non-isolated Bus Architecture (NBA) is an evolution from IBA necessitated by data center and supercomputing systems. Our converters provide high-efficiency conversion in small packages. Designers can use these converters to integrate 12V loads into new 48V infrastructure or introduce new 48V capabilities into existing 12V infrastructures.
