MPM54304 DC/DC Stepdown Power Module MPS' quad-output, DC/DC stepdown power module features up to 2 A and 3 A per output
Looks complex, the I2C stuff.
We've been using LTM8078 for powering FPGAs, which is a dual switcher in a BGA package. It tolerates up to 40 volts in, which is handy because we power a lot of boxes from 24.
I think Linear Tech started the power supply hybrids, their LTM series, but lots of people are doing it now.
That seems like a lot of current. What else is going on with the board? The FPGAs I typically work with are well less than a half amp and one voltage.
I guess your design *is* pretty "complicated".
Dunno how they settle on their input voltage range but when the load is 5V or less, 16V seems like plenty.
They have other interesting products. Like these jellybean non-isolated offline regulators:
Pretty soon engineers aren't going to have much to do.
We just move up the abstraction stack. Low voltage DC power supplies aren't very exciting anyhow.
don't you think some said the same when ICs first came out?
