‘Pola’

A Electronicstalk guide

Start with the news release Adjustable power at the point of load from Murata Power Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "New modules are ideal for supplying POL power to devices such as ASICs, FPGAs and DSPs in a wide range of multiprocessor digital systems.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release GBP 400,000 investment boosts PCB production from Exception Group: "Leading European electronics manufacturer Exception has released a GBP400,000 investment in new manufacturing technology for its printed circuit board (PCB) production facility in Tewkesbury, UK.".
 
In August 2007, we covered the news from Ericsson Power Modules - take a look at POL modules cut down on capacitor demands which says: "Third-generation point-of-load modules combine wide input range with fast transient response.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Ericsson Power Modules, Regulators are easy answer to low-current demands, as well as Alliance backs nonisolated power modules from Texas Instruments (April 2006-), and Ericsson signs up for PMBus support from Ericsson Power Modules.
