DETAILED OVERVIEW:

This report presents an analysis of the current size and future growth of the worldwide merchant markets for DC/DC converters. Merchant market DC/DC converters are defined as:

Modules or printed circuit board assemblies with mounted individual components (not single integrated circuits) that convert one DC voltage to another. Merchant refers to DC/DC converters that are sold to others as a component to be integrated into equipment or systems. The most widely known example is the "Brick" form factor.
