Abstract :
This paper discusses a new power system design alternative for designs where isolated DC-DC modules have traditionally been used in distributed power architectures. A new generation of nonisolated integrated switching regulators (ISRs) that provide a wide variety of positive and negative voltages are now available to reduce cost, decrease board area, increase reliability and reduce time to market. Included in this paper is a detailed comparison of the design alternatives and benefits
