Every product and design in the world of electronics requires power, but this need can often be taken for granted. Power solutions are commonly abstracted from the more intricate aspects of system- and board-level design, even seen as more an inconvenient means to an end. In fact, the power subsystem can provide tons of opportunity for everything from reducing system size/cost/weight to improving efficiency and enabling functionality. In order to take advantage of all these fantastic possibilities, we must first have a good understanding of our system power needs and the various solutions available to help us meet those needs. This Pre-Conference Symposium covers several aspects of power design, optimal design philosophies, a review of solutions, and plenty of practical advice for how to implement the proper solutions for embedded systems. Furthermore, solutions will be defined and broken down into digital and analog power implementations to help one understand the difference between these high-level categories and even further compared and contrasted against common, industry terminology and implementations.
