Pulsiv the Cambridge power electronics specialist, has signed with DigiKey for the distribution of its  microcontrollers.

We’re very happy to have partnered with DigiKey as a stocking distributor for our Pulsiv OSMIUM microcontrollers,” says Pulsiv’s Nick Theodoris,  “their global reach, easy online ordering, and fast delivery enables engineers to quickly sample our ground-breaking technology for their new designs in almost any application. Pulsiv OSMIUM technology significantly increases low-load efficiency, improves energy waste, and saves cost, helping to reduce the impact billions of devices have on the health of our planet.”

Using a patented switching technique, Pulsiv has developed a new method for converting AC to DC, reducing the overall energy wasted by mains powered devices or battery chargers.’

 

Pulsiv OSMIUM has extended the range of conventional flyback topologies to replace more expensive LLC solutions, while achieving an unrivalled efficiency profile. It further helps manufacturers comply with the latest regulatory standards, including the EU’s Ecodesign Directive.

Various tools are available to simplify the engineering process including:

AC to DC front-end circuit design configurations
Front-end evaluation boards that can be paired with a preferred DC-DC converter
Reference designs that include a Pulsiv OSMIUM front-end design with a pre-optimised DC-DC converter
Expert design support to assist in optimising the technology for various applications
Pulsiv OSMIUM technology provides a scalable platform for engineers to reduce size, improve energy consumption and optimise cost when designing a power supply for virtually any application.
