Shown on this slide is a generic design where the AC power supply converts the wall outlet AC voltage to create a DC bus voltage of 48 V, 24 V, or 12 V. Typically, higher powered systems will use a bus voltage of 48 V. Power conditioning for these applications is required for some designs. That is where OmniOn Power Input Filters come into play. Filtering is not required for all circuit designs. The circuit bus voltage is then typically converted from 48 V to 12 V or 5 V through an isolated DC-DC converter. The industry term for these 48 V to 12 V converters are “bricks”. The power industry has standardized on the DOSA footprint for bricks, like half brick, quarter brick, eighth brick, and sixteenth brick. For medium to lower power systems, the 12 V bus might come directly from the AC power supply. This 12 V bus voltage must be reduced to drive the individual semiconductor loads, like an FPGA, CPU, or DSP. The voltage conversion from 12 V to lower voltages can be done by using OmniOn Power’s Point-of-Load modules (POLs).
