Description
The main purpose of this evaluation board is to show basic principles used for design of the power supply and to give users a working prototype for testing and daily use. The trend in recent years in the supply of MCUs, CPUs, memories, FPGAs etc. is to reduce the supply voltage, increase supply current and provide various voltage levels for different devices in one platform. A typical example of this is the FPGA. FPGAs contain core parts which operate with low level voltage, interface parts placed between the core and the output, system parts, etc.
