Intelligent Power Supply Solutions
Today, power supply designers must create power conversion products that offer greater efficiency, higher power density, higher reliability, advanced communications and sophisticated control features. These products must also be developed and marketed quickly and at lower costs. We offer a comprehensive set of intelligent power supply solutions to meet these challenges.
Traditional power supply designs use analog ICs with fixed functionality to provide regulated power. The intelligent power supply integrates a microcontroller (MCU) or Digital Signal Controller (DSC) for a fully programmable and flexible solution.

Scalable Solutions for Power Conversion Applications
An intelligent power supply does not need to be complex or expensive. We deliver everything you need to create your power conversion design: low-risk product development, lower total system cost, faster time to market, outstanding technical support, dependable delivery and quality. Offering MCUs and DSCs ranging from 6 to 144 pins, we have a suitable device for every application. Many of our MCUs and DSCs have innovative on-chip peripherals that are designed specifically for power conversion. These peripherals include fast Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) modules with special operating modes and high-speed Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) for fast acquisition of power supply feedback signals.

Digital Power Starter Kit Demonstration – MASTERs Conference 2015
This is a Live Update demonstration of the power supply firmware using Microchip’s new dsPIC33EP ‘GS’ devices. These devices contain two flash partitions such that programming of the inactive partition can occur without stalling the CPU which then leads to continuous regulation of the power supply (i.e. no down time to update PSU firmware). The demonstration shows an extreme case where the compensator is being changed from an poorly designed 2P2Z compensator to a properly designed 3P3Z compensator.
