In communications, industrial and other high power
systems, board-mounted point-of-load (POL) DC/DC
power supplies simplify thermal management and offer
high performance. An ideal POL power supply module
takes a minimal amount of space and mounts on the
board much like other surface mount ICs without special
tooling. It should also demonstrate exceptional thermal
performance with excellent effi ciency and low power
dissipation.
