Description
The Zephyr Power Module is designed to meet the 
precise voltage and fast transient requirements of 
today’s and tomorrow’s high performance 
microprocessor, DSP, memory boards and system level 
applications in a distributed power architecture. 
Advanced circuit techniques, high-frequency switching, 
custom passive and active components, and very high-
density, surface-mount packaging technology deliver 
high-quality, ultra compact, non-isolated DC-DC 
conversion.
