Computers - Changing the Computing Climate

The ecological cost of the Information Age has catalyzed a new wave of innovative technologies to reverse the course of high-carbon economies fueled by energy-intensive work habits and life styles.  For computing and storage devices, efficiency innovation that promises the most positive eco-impact is occurring at the system level, especially in the delivery and management of power.

Powervation is leading the innovation wave.  Our eco power-smart solution substantially reduces system complexity while delivering sustained stability and performance reliability.  And with a power-supply footprint that’s twice as small as comparative solutions, designers can pack additional value-add features into a more compact system package.

These are critical benefits for architects of computing and storage devices who struggle to manage currents that are steadily rising.  In fact, in a dramatic departure from tradition, power supply for memory devices now often requires a current that’s higher than the main processer.  And, applications with voltages as low as half-a-volt and currents as high as 180 amperes are already hitting the market.  This calls for better power control and the implementation of multi-phase power converters, along with light-load efficiency optimization.
