What We Do

Application engineering across
the full power stack

A senior power electronics engineer who looks at your actual design and gives you real answers.

01
AE Support

Vendor-Agnostic Application Engineering

Schematic review, component selection, derating analysis — across DC/DC modules, MOSFETs, magnetics, passives, and connectors. We work from your actual design, not a generic reference.

  • Power architecture review before layout
  • Component stress and SOA analysis
  • Topology selection and architecture guidance
  • Loop stability and phase margin assessment
02
Compliance

Pre-Compliance EMC Screening

Flag the conducted emissions, inrush, and surge issues before you commit to layout. Catch what the formal lab will catch — before it costs you a respin.

  • DO-160 Section 20/22 readiness
  • MIL-STD-461 conducted emissions
  • IEC 61000 / CISPR screening
  • Input filter sizing against Middlebrook criterion
03
Sourcing

Direct Pricing & Second Sourcing

Access to component pricing that isn't Arrow or Mouser retail. If you have a sole-source issue or EOL risk, we find validated alternatives across the same or equivalent vendors.

  • Direct rep channel pricing across major lines
  • Second source identification and validation
  • Drop-in vs. functional equivalent analysis
  • EOL and long lead time risk flagging
04
DVB

Design Verification Boards

Custom evaluation boards built for your specific application — not a vendor reference design. Characterize your actual converter, module, or power stage in your operating conditions.

  • Custom EVMs for isolated DC/DC and PSU modules
  • Application-specific test fixtures
  • Characterization and measurement support
  • Pre-compliance test point access built in
For Hardware Startups

Are you getting the support you're paying for?

Most startups are sourcing through distribution and posting design questions to vendor forums. That's slow, generic, and expensive. There's a better path.

PAIN

Buying through Arrow or Future Electronics? You're paying distribution margin on every line item — often 2–4× what direct channel pricing looks like.

PAIN

Posting to TI or Infineon forums for design help? You get a generic reply days later from an FAE who hasn't seen your schematic and can only talk about their own parts.

PAIN

No senior PE resource on staff? The issues that fail compliance testing — Middlebrook, SOA, inrush — are often invisible until you're at the formal lab.

What You Get

One resource. Across the whole problem.

01

Direct component pricing

Access to rep channel pricing across isolated DC/DC, MOSFETs, passives, and connectors — without the distribution markup you're currently paying.

02

Real AE support on your actual design

Not a forum thread. A senior engineer who reviews your schematic, your operating conditions, your layout — and gives you specific answers.

03

Second source and alternative validation

Sole-source risk, EOL parts, long lead times — we find alternatives and validate they actually work in your design, not just on paper.

04

Compliance issues caught early

EMC, thermal, and stability flags before you commit to layout. The respin you avoid is the most valuable thing we deliver.

For Manufacturer Rep Firms

Turn stuck deals into
design-in revenue.

You have the customer relationships. We have the application engineering depth to unblock the deals that are stalling at the prototype stage.

A capability that's rare in the rep channel Custom EVM design and application engineering support — available to your customers when they need it most.
Unstick Deals

PSU Brick Sales Stalling at Prototype?

When a customer can't get their prototype working with your module, the deal stops. We build custom EVMs and provide hands-on AE support to get them to the next stage — and the purchase order.

New Account Entry

Enter a New Company With a Differentiated Value Add

Custom EVM capability and vendor-agnostic AE support is a door-opener. You're not just another rep with a catalog — you're bringing something their current supplier can't offer.

Grow Existing Accounts

Cross-Sell More Across Your Existing Book

We identify where your existing customers have adjacent power problems that match your other lines — MOSFETs, passives, magnetics — and help you make the technical case for the cross-sell.

Bring us a stuck deal or a new account you want to crack. We scope the application engineering engagement, you stay in the customer relationship.

Technical Depth

We analyze physics,
not just price.

15+ years in aerospace and industrial power electronics. The failure modes that show up at DO-160 and MIL-STD-461 testing are not a surprise to us — they're what we look for first.

EMI // Compliance

Compliance Readiness Screening

Early-phase vetting for DO-160 , MIL-STD-461, IEC 61000, and CISPR. We flag the specific issues that cause formal lab failures — before you spin hardware.

EMC // Inrush

EMI Filter & Inrush Analysis

Input filter sizing against Middlebrook criterion, inrush current calculation, NTC/ICL selection, and layout risk identification — before a single trace is routed.

Thermal // Reliability

Thermal & Stress Validation

Worst-case stress analysis on MOSFETs, magnetics, and capacitors. SOA derating, junction temperature margin, and lifetime estimation at actual operating conditions.

Stability // Loop

Loop Stability & Architecture Review

Phase margin assessment, input impedance interaction, and topology selection review. Catch instabilities that only appear at corner conditions — not on the bench at 25°C.
