We see increasing
electrification across
applications. Electrification
typically involves digital
processing, which requires
a carefully designed power
management solution."

are being implemented in more places than they
were twenty years ago. This electrification spans
industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics
applications, including a wide variety of small devices
that fall under the IoT umbrella.
Reliable power management
is paramount
This variety of use cases and devices means deciding
whether to select power line, battery, or energy
harvesting, all of which have different implications for
power management, while considering key elements
such as sequencing and load transients. Most of all,
power management must ensure reliability.
Analog Devices (ADI) offers comprehensive reference
design solutions that include essential tools,
device drivers, and ready-to-use reference project
examples for microcontrollers, processors, and
FPGAs to support rapid prototyping that minimizes
development time and reduces the complexity of
system design.
