With exponential growth in today's cloud data centers, the demand for data storage and security is exploding. Data deduplication combined with encryption is a requirement. This session will provide an overview of how NXP has developed an innovative solution using intelligent storage accelerators without having to throw expensive cores at it. The performance-per-watt and the total cost savings of this solution are formidable. This same approach has been taken in the next-generation Software Defined Storage (SDS) platform from NXP which not only solves the data dedupe and encryption problem but also the compression, RAID and traffic offload requirement of a complete scalable SDS solution.

This session offers deep understanding of buck regulator performance and its reliability aspect. Buck regulator is the most widely used topology. Once the system power need is calculated, identifying the right power management chip is critical to a project's success. Session attendees should be able to identify and review critical DC-DC converter specifications and choose the best power solution based on their need. Calculating/selecting the passives and discrete around the buck regulator to create a robust design is discussed. Finally, measurement of key parameters to ensure the thermal, and loop stability is shared.
