High-current POL convertors support IBA
Nonisolated, point-of-load convertors boast 85-96% efficiencies at competitive prices to help the intermediate bus architecture (IBA) gain respect.
The new intermediate bus architecture (IBA) clearly brings cost savings and performance improvements to multivoltage, high-current, onboard power systems An effective IBA implementation, however, requires using new bus convertors and POLs (point-of-load convertors) that probably have been on the market for less than a year

Novel regulation makes dual DC/DCs more flexible
Datel's new BWR-5/3.3, 33W Series mixed-voltage, dual-output (3.3 and 5V) DC/DC convertors feature a novel output structure that does not limit output current in the traditional manner.
More current from industry-standard convertors
Datel's new USN Series D5 SIPs are nonisolated DC/DC convertors that accept a 5V input (4.5 to 5.5V input range) and deliver 1.5, 1.8, 2.5 or 3.3V outputs at either 8 or 10A.
Many designers are reluctant to do that.
Therefore, the proliferation and widespread acceptance of the IBA have been slowed by the lack of affordable, multisourced, building blocks, and many power supply manufacturers are relu
