Power Supply Design
AC/DC and DC/DC converters, topology selection, efficiency, thermal design, stability and compensation.
We help teams design, prototype, and validate reliable power and analog electronics: supplies & converters, precision analog front-ends, EMI/EMC, and lab validation.
AC/DC and DC/DC converters, topology selection, efficiency, thermal design, stability and compensation.
Signal conditioning, low-noise amplifiers, A/D interfaces, sensor front‑ends, filtering and references.
High‑current/low‑noise layout, creepage/clearance, stackups, return paths, and manufacturability (DFM/DFA).
Design for compliance, pre‑compliance testing, mitigation strategies, grounding and shielding.
Bring‑up plans, automated measurements, characterizations, failure analysis, and test fixtures.
Architecture reviews, schematic/layout audits, troubleshooting, and mentoring for internal teams.
Hands‑on validation with oscilloscopes, e-loads, power analyzers, and thermal tools. We iterate quickly to derisk designs before costly spins.
