Power Management Guide

ST Microelectronics

There is no secret when designing a power management system or sub-system: regardless of the final use, it must provide high efficiency and low standby power, as well as high power density, reliability and safety, while respecting specific cost constraints. The key enablers for any such system with the above features are discrete and integrated power semiconductors, which play a crucial role in every step along the energy supply chain and, when applied in conjunction with advanced control technologies, can drive continuous improvement in energy savings for homeowners and communities, and ultimately for the entire planet.
