As component technology improves, the size of the components can be reduced without sacrificing performance. This allows companies like RECOM POWER design higher power DC/DC converters in the same case size and to improve the specifications beyond the limits previously caused by bulky components such as transformers. Higher isolation is possible now in the same sized package and wider input voltage ranges are also possible in the same package. Smaller and better quality components allow for an uncluttered design layout and help reduce EMI, ripple and noise.
