An uptick in investments towards Telecom infrastructure is being observed due to increase in demand for mobile data. This includes 5G and 6G infrastructure rollout that requires efficient, light, compact designs.
Historically, standard bus voltages Telecom equipment is -48V, generally derived from mains or battery backup. From a system perspective, -48V battery intrinsically increases system longevity by minimizing battery corrosion.
Most of the subsequent circuitry, however, is powered off a positive rail. Therefore, an isolated and a non-isolated DC-DC power stage becomes critical in telecom-power supply systems.
