Applications of DC-DC Power Supplies in Compact Computing

As computing devices continue to shrink in size while growing in performance, power delivery becomes a key design challenge. At Pico Box, we specialize in compact, silent, and intelligent DC-DC power supplies that make ultra-small form factor computing possible — without sacrificing reliability or performance.

Here’s how our DC-DC solutions are being used across a range of cutting-edge applications:

1. Mini PCs & HTPCs

Whether you’re building a home theater PC or a compact workstation, space and silence are crucial. Traditional ATX power supplies are bulky and noisy, but a Pico Box DC-DC module enables a completely fanless, low-profile build, delivering clean power in silence — ideal for living rooms, studios, or minimalist workspaces.

2. Industrial and Embedded Systems

In industrial environments, rugged and space-efficient computing is essential. Our DC-DC converters are used in panel PCs, automation controllers, and industrial gateways that need reliable performance in tight enclosures — often powered directly from 12V or 24V rails.

3. Edge Computing Devices

Edge devices require powerful yet efficient hardware deployed in remote or space-constrained environments. Pico Box power supplies are a perfect fit for AI edge nodes, network appliances, and remote sensing units, providing compact, intelligent power conversion with thermal efficiency and reliability.

4. Robotics & Drones

In robotics, every gram and cubic centimeter counts. Our lightweight, ultra-compact DC-DC converters are powering onboard computers, sensors, and control systems in robotic platforms and drones, where power integrity and thermal performance are mission-critical.

5. Custom Server Builds

For system integrators building low-noise, high-density servers, especially for audio production or scientific use, traditional PSUs often add unnecessary size and noise. Pico Box enables silent, space-efficient builds with the power you need for demanding workloads.

6. Maker Projects & DIY Innovation

Makers and hobbyists around the world love Pico Box for its simplicity, size, and reliability. From Raspberry Pi clusters to custom NAS enclosures, our DC-DC power modules are enabling creators to design smarter, smaller, and cooler systems.
