Welcome to the MaxLinear Powering VLSI Based Systems product training module. This presentation will discuss the systems considerations of powering VLSI based systems and some of the special needs dictated by the physics of their construction. Trends in VLSI device physics, the marketplace and regulatory issues will be covered. Additionally, the module will discuss what occurs when the user combines some of these in a system to solve real world problems and the approaches to effectively solve some of these challenges will be reviewed.
