According to PwrSoc'08 organizers:
"This is the first international workshop to address the issue of the development of next generation, miniaturised DC-DC converter product formats that can be referred to as power supply-in-package (PwrSiP) and power supply-on-chip (PwrSoC). This concept of integrated power solutions presents a significant disruptive opportunity in power management and warrants an international forum for its discussion and for the elucidation of the key challenges that lie ahead."

The workshop brought together key players in the global power management community from both industry and academia to jointly discuss trends, technologies, results, opportunities and challenges.

CPES is pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to this initiative. This keynote presentation is made available to Principal and Associate members via password access.
