Not true. Your motors and actuators operate directly on 48V (in fact, most actuators would prefer a higher voltage like 96V). That's really significant. Micr

Not true. Your motors and actuators operate directly on 48V (in fact, most actuators would prefer a higher voltage like 96V). That's really significant. Microelectronics is effectively a "don't care" since everything is behind a regulator or a PHY. Yeah, 48V tolerant switching regulators are going to be a bit more expensive until the volume gets rolling, but that problem solves itself while ethernet and CAN PHY chips are already 48V tolerant.
