Question Why use point-of-load (POL) power supplies where the DC-to-DC converter is as close as possible to the load? Answer Efficiency and accuracy are two big advantages but achieving POL conversion requires some care in regulator design. Proximity to power. It’s one of the best ways to improve voltage accuracy, efficiency, and the dynamic response […]
