Our range of dc-dc converters for the computing market includes specialist memory power modules and voltage regulator modules (VRMs) for powering today’s high performance processors.

Trends/Opportunities

• The global server market is currently worth approximately $45 billion a year (2009 figure).
• Growth in Enterprise and Web Applications
• Blade Computing
• Digital Controls
• Efficiency and Density
• Virtualization
• Cloud Computing
• Data Center Consolidation

Given that data centers are such large users of power, with factors such as the ENERGY STAR program and the Climate Savers Computing Initiative forcing users to seek various means of reducing their energy demands, the key attribute of power supplies for computing/server applications is conversion efficiency. Cost, reliability, acoustic noise and power density – and hence physical size – are also important attributes. For portable computing applications, battery management facilities are a further consideration.
