1. A power management system, comprising:
at least one power distribution board disposed within a radio-frequency (RF) cabin of a medical imaging system, wherein the power distribution board is directly coupled to an external reference clock and a single power supply outside the RF cabin, and includes
a clock circuit that generates one or more output clock signals based on a reference clock signal from the external reference clock, and
one or more switching regulators coupled to the clock circuit, wherein the one or more switching regulators are synchronized to the one or more output clock signals, wherein the one or more switching regulators provide power from the single power supply to one or more endpoint loads.
