What is a smart switch?

Our advanced electrical smart switches are designed to provide intelligent power control and protection in aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications. These smart switches integrate real-time fault monitoring capabilities, including overcurrent and overvoltage protection, to enhance system reliability and safety. With built-in remote-control functionality and precise power monitoring, they enable efficient system management and diagnostics.
Engineered for demanding environments, our smart switches offer compact, high-performance solutions that simplify power distribution while meeting stringent industry standards.

What are additional features your company offers?

We offer a range of advanced and customizable features, including variable output voltage per switch, reverse power handling capability, switch-on-short-circuit detection and protection, high surge current tolerance, and pulse-mode current injection for short-circuit diagnostics. Additional capabilities such as programmable scheduling and timer functions further enhance flexibility and system control, making our solutions ideal for complex and mission-critical applications.

What is a SMPS?

Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) are critical components in modern electronic systems, providing efficient and reliable power conversion across a wide range of applications. By using high-frequency switching technology, SMPS significantly reduce size, weight, and heat generation compared to traditional linear power supplies, making them ideal for aerospace, automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. Their ability to handle varying input voltages while delivering stable and precise output power ensures optimal performance of sensitive electronic systems. As power demands continue to grow, SMPS play a vital role in improving energy efficiency, system reliability, and overall operational performance.

What state-of-the-art features do you offer?

We offer a wide range of advanced power converter topologies, including ripple-canceling designs that reduce converter size while maximizing performance and efficiency. Our expertise extends to advanced magnetic designs, such as planar magnetics and PCB-based windings, which help minimize manufacturing costs without compromising performance. We leverage the latest switching technologies, including Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN), to achieve higher efficiency and power density. Additionally, our designs incorporate advanced thermal management systems optimized through finite element analysis (FEA) for superior cooling performance. To further enhance system efficiency and responsiveness, we provide advanced and adaptive optimal control strategies tailored to demanding applications.
