Powering High Speed Analog-to-Digital Converters with Switching Power Supplies

System designers are being asked to reduce overall power in order to lessen the impact on our environment, while reducing both capital and operating costs. They are also being asked to increase circuit density so that electronic systems can be pushed into smaller form factors and operate in harsher environments. Unfortunately, incorporating high power solutions into these systems causes significant difficulties in removing the excess heat and leaves the other objectives unfulfilled.
