RECOM is expanding its board-level power portfolio with compact point-of-load modules aimed at the hardest rail in modern digital design: very low voltage at very high current. The discussion centers on new 15A and 25A modules for power-tree design, covering rails for processor cores, DDR and dense digital logic, with output targets down to 0.35V and 0.5V depending on the part. That fills a gap between intermediate bus conversion and the final high-current core rail, where size, efficiency and layout matter most. https://recom-power.com/
The key theme here is what happens when SoCs, FPGAs and AI accelerators keep adding compute density while core voltages keep dropping. Lower voltage helps switching speed, but it pushes current sharply upward, so the power stage has to deliver tens or even hundreds of amps in a very small footprint. RECOM positions these modules as scalable building blocks: 25A per unit, 50A with two devices, and up to 150A through multiphase paralleling, aimed at robotics, machine vision, automotive compute and other embedded platforms with fast load steps.
A major technical point in the interview is transient response. Modern processors can jump from sleep to full activity extremely fast, so the regulator has to react before the rail drifts out of tolerance. RECOM’s adaptive constant-on-time control is presented as a way to respond faster than a conventional clock-cycle-limited loop, while also allowing lower output capacitance. That matters because less capacitance can reduce board area, BOM cost and stored energy on the rail, all while keeping the supply stable during aggressive current swings.
Another important layer is programmability. With PMBus telemetry and control, the module is not just a fixed converter but part of the system architecture. Output voltage can be trimmed very accurately, operating behavior can be tuned for different modes, and voltage margining can match the needs of individual processors characterized at the factory. In practice, that means the rail can be optimized for performance, efficiency and reliability instead of treating power as a static afterthought. The video was filmed at Embedded World 2026 in Nuremberg, where this kind of low-voltage, high-current power delivery is becoming central to embedded AI and high-density compute.
The broader context also matters. RECOM highlights a portfolio that runs from tiny isolated converters to high-power systems, and its latest public messaging around embedded world 2026 also points to discrete power IC and transformer options alongside PoL modules. That makes this launch interesting not just as one new regulator, but as part of a wider push toward configurable, modular power design. For engineers working on next-generation FPGA, SoC and edge AI hardware, the real takeaway is simple: power delivery is now an active design domain, with telemetry, programmability, interleaving, EMI behavior and transient control all shaping what the processor can actually do.
