DC/DC power supply

close

Provides DC/DC conversion from ATX power supply to supply the power rails supporting the entire system. This includes powering the core SoC chipset (CPU,PCH), as well as all the other subsystems, including memory. DC/DC controllers, converters, LDOs and FETs are used to generate all necessary rails, in addition to load switches that provide power distribution and savings.
