Linear vs. switching power supplies: Look at the facts before you leap to conclusions

Ask almost any engineer about linear power supplies, and his or her instinctive reaction likely is, "Sorry, I can't use them- they're too inefficient."

In this white paper from Acopian, learn more about the priorities you should consider when deciding between linear and switching power supplies.
