Silicon Labs Steps Into The Power Arena

Silicon Laboratories entered the power market by offering the first of a family of products designed for power control applications. Based on a patented architecture, the Si825x family of single-chip digital power-supply controllers combine the flexibility and programmability of a DSP with the fast response of a hardware-based controller, says the company.

This architecture provides digital power control and power-management functions for most isolated and non-isolated switch-mode power-supply topologies.
