Digital Point of Load Converters vs. Digital Managers

Michael Jones - Applications Engineer Sep 1st 2012
When should you use a Point of Load Converter (POL) with PMBus, and when should you use a Digital Manager with old school POLs? In this post I will provide some heuristics for making this choice. So as to not mislead, my goal is modest: to provide enough intuition to make a first pass choice, that becomes an area to explore ...
