Abstract :
Each manufacturer of DC-to-DC power converter modules typically has a different approach to specifying performance data, making it difficult for a user to make a proper selection for his/her application, or to make educated comparisons between the various offerings. This paper presents arguments in favor of a standardized approach to specification of DC-to-DC power converter modules, particularly those used in distributed power system applications
