Power in the year 2000

This paper is intended to summarize an Ad Hoc workshop held in Orlando, Florida on February 12, 1994. The subject of the workshop was "Power Conversion Technology in the Year 2000". The object of the workshop was for a group of knowledgeable individuals to project trends and needs for commercial power products (computing, communications, and general electronics). The areas of power that were discussed fell into three categories: AC-DC converters up to 500 watts; DC-DC converters 50 to 300 watts; and portable DC-DC converters 10 to 25 watts. These categories were chosen because they are expected to be high volume power systems, and the areas that are projected to grow significantly in the years upto 2000.<
