Pre- and post-transformation regulators
The PRM is a family of zero-voltage switching (ZVS) buck-boost regulators with a wide input voltage range that provide a regulated, adjustable output voltage. PRMs can be used stand-alone as non-isolated voltage regulators or combined with VTM current multipliers for an isolated or non-isolated DC-DC solution.
