Power Control and Management
Power control and management encompasses the techniques, circuits, and systems used to efficiently convert, regulate, and distribute electrical power in electronic devices. From the switching regulators that power smartphones to the complex power distribution networks in data centers, effective power management is essential for device functionality, efficiency, and reliability.
This section explores the fundamental topologies and architectures used in power conversion, examining how designers balance efficiency, size, cost, and performance across diverse applications. Understanding these concepts enables engineers to select appropriate power solutions and optimize systems for specific requirements.
