Another interesting class of dual-use technology are fast power switching elements. And both modern SMPSs and Class D audio amplifiers are worryingly near to what would have to be considered a “munition”.

What are the rules for munitions-class switching power supplies and Class D amps?

A CPU switches a hell of a lot faster than either of those, although with much less current.
