The digital power landscape is undergoing rapid change. Adaptive controllers, parameter estimation and sophisticated control algorithms have become much more economically reasonable to implement in a variety of systems. But there is still a "perceived expense" of going digital, compared to using similar bandwidth analog components.

Although digital solutions are still primarily being used in high-performance applications, the pervasive emphasis on energy efficiency is pushing digital from high-end-only into the mainstream. Digital control is now implemented in just about all application segments, from catalog power supplies to power supplies used in medical, solid-state lighting and consumer devices. In some applications, digital penetration is already exceeding 50%.

With this broader implementation, along with expanded digital IC functionality, digital power management and control is entering a long-awaited "mainstream adoption" period. The next ten years will see increased use of digital control, as applications demand power functions for which digital is particularly suited.
