 Target spec: >85% efficiency and <240 mV ripple
 Time-line: 3 months for complete development
 Results achieved
 New efficiency is 87.5% (~50% reduction in losses!)
 Ripple/noise reduced from 450 mV to 130 mV
 Target performance exceeded while
 Reducing component count
 Reducing BOM cost by ~$2.5 at 1K volumes
 Meeting the tight timelines
