“Now, designers of power supplies have an intelligent "no compromises" solution that is impervious to variations in component values and applications context, making it easier to build complex designs that conform to today's stringent energy-efficient standards.
Powervation achieves these breakthroughs via its unique Auto-control technology that empowers engineers with new ease-of-design capabilities and eliminates the time-consuming challenge of accounting for the production tolerances of all components in the control loop”

Finding the right chip for the job
“The carbon footprint of the entire global IT, electronics and mobile telecoms industry is at least equal to, if not greater than, that of aviation according to industry analysts Gartner. Therefore any solution, especially a computer chip, that reduces power consumption and related costs and carbon emissions - by up to 30 per cent in University of Limerick spinout Powervation's case - is welcome in the green economy.”

“Adaptive control techniques in process control and robotics are not suited to power control, which requires fast computation in very little silicon area. Therefore, adaptive control of power converters requires new operational algorithms.
To this end, Powervation’s Auto-control technology brings true adaptive control to dc-dc conversion. The benefits of Auto-control—such as improved robustness, maximum performance and ease of design—are all possible with this technology.
The PV3002 adaptive control IC delivers performance that enables higher efficiency, better transient response, and ease of use across a broad range of voltage-regulator designs”
