### The Unseen Power Crisis in Modern Electronics  

While processors get faster, 47% of electronic failures still stem from power delivery issues. As devices shrink and demands soar, traditional power solutions hit physical limits:  

 **Thermal throttling** cuts performance by up to 40%  

 **Board space** consumed by power circuitry exceeds processing area  

 **Energy waste** costs data centers $3 billion annually  

> *"Integrating advanced DCDC and PoE power ICs reduced our IoT gateway's power footprint by 60% while doubling thermal headroom."*
