Cost-effective POL converters need no external controllers

-- EDN, October 5, 2005

The No-Bus POL (point-of-load) converters use pin strapping, one trim resistor, and one capacitor to eliminate power-management problems. The four-output power system needs no external controllers and other associated components, saving $5 to $10 compared with other approaches. The 7A ZY1207, 15A ZY1115, and 20A ZY1120 cost $6.60, $9.90, and $12.10 (1000), respectively.
