• Power is a major problem within the IC and electronics industries

• Power Management semiconductor demand is rapidly growing to optimize the
efficiency of power usage in system level and to reduce power consumption.
– Low output voltages, multiple voltage outputs, more power, tight voltage regulation,
tighter tolerance, smart battery,……..
– 5v, 3.3v, 2.5v, 1.8v,…..there are many different supply voltages co-exist on a board.
Even on a chip, I/O and Core have different supply voltages.
– A board design requires the system level power management approach in order to
cost effectively design a product.
