Definition of "Point Of Load" |
Point of load power supplies solve the challenge of high peak current demands and low noise margins, required by high performance semiconductors such as microcontrollers or ASICs, by placing individual power supply regulators close to their point of use.

Definition of "Point-Of-Load" |
Point-of-load (POL) power supplies solve the challenge of high peak current demands and low noise margins, required by high-performance semiconductors such as microcontrollers or ASICs, by placing individual power supply regulators (linear or DC-DC) close to their point of use. / [POL] a term used to indicate that a voltage regulator [voltage source] is place near the load that requires the voltage. On a single Printed Wiring Board [PWB], Point-of-Load means that the regulator is placed right next to the components requiring the voltage [load], as opposed to having the voltage regulator separated on the other side of the PWB [as some design practices would indicate]. In a system the term Point-of-Load means the voltage regulation [generation] is done in the same system block, at the card level and not the IC level, it just depends on the prospective. In many cases the term Point-of-Load refers to the same thing as Point-of-Source [POS], as in the regulator is placed next to the source that requires it.
