Versatile DC-DC power IC only draws 0.5mW in standby

Fabless power semiconductor company Helix Semiconductors is now sampling the HS200, a DC-DC power IC that converts 48V to extremely low voltages, down to 1.5V.

The new IC offers greater than 97 percent efficiency at 2.6W and greater than 90 percent efficiency at 15W, which the company claims makes it the most energy-efficient-per-density solution available.
