With the advent of the converged systems, these separate

approaches to power distribution will converge into new

architectures but the bottom line is that at the board or back-

plane level the usual voltages will need to be delivered,

namely 12V and 5V, as well as 0.9V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V with

more to come.

The delivery of such low voltages starting from DC or AC

power will be the focus of this document from here on.

The conversion down to heavy loads is done with

synchronous rectification switching regulators of single or

multiphase interleaved type, while for lighter loads

linear regulators can be utilized.

AC-DC conversion

Fig. 7 shows the conversion of AC power directly down to

one of the DC voltages listed earlier, all low enough to be

safely distributed on the motherboard. The AC line is

rectified first by means of a full bridge diode rectifier that

converts the alternate AC voltage into a continuous but still

poorly regulated intermediate voltage. Next this voltage is

converted down to a low voltage usable by the electronics on

the motherboard by means of a “fly-back” converter

(KA5x03xx family) with minimum number of external

components. This conversion requires electrical isolation

between the high input and the low output voltages: this is

accomplished via the utilization of a transformer (T) in the

forward conversion path and an opto-coupler in the feedback

path.
