VPT now provides a Technical Design Assistance service to assist engineers with their power design projects, providing techniques that maximize the five most important factors for military, avionics, and space programs: reliability, size, efficiency, weight, and cost. Hosted at the location of the customer’s choice, design assistance sessions are tailored to a customer’s specific project and typically last about an hour.
Some of the issues commonly discussed include implementing a power conversion design to maximize power and cost efficiencies; understanding power converter topologies and performance characteristics to determine products that work best for the customer’s unique application; and understanding reliability metrics, derating, environmental stress screening, thermal management, and EMI performance.
