DigiKey now stocks Pulsiv Osmium microcontrollers
Design engineers can order Pulsiv’s Osmim microcontrollers through DigiKey. The power conversion technology-based devices are available directly from stock
Pulsiv uses a patented switching technique for converting AC to DC, which reduces the overall energy wasted by mains powered devices or battery chargers, said the company. Osmium also has a universal input voltage range and completely eliminates inrush current. The technology has been specifically designed to help cut global CO2 emissions, deliver long-term sustainability and achieve net zero targets.
Pulsiv Osmium has extended the range of conventional flyback topologies to replace more expensive LLC solutions, with an efficiency profile of 99.5 per cent front-end peak and 97.5 per cent front-end average and 90 per cent low power efficiency at 2W. These characteristics helps manufacturers comply with regulatory standards, including the EU’s Ecodesign Directive.
Tools available to simplify the engineering process include AC/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 and 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, claimed the company.
Nick Theodoris, director of global sales and distribution at Pulsiv said: “We’re very happy to have partnered with DigiKey as a stocking distributor for our Pulsiv Osmium microcontrollers. [DigiKey’s] 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”.
Based in Cambridge, UK, Pulsiv’s technology intelligently manages the power conversion process. Pulsiv Osmium products are designed to improve efficiency, optimise cost and reduce overall energy consumption in billions of devices that are powered or charged from a mains supply. The company’s Horizon products provide a power architecture for extracting the maximum energy from photovoltaic panels to increase the total output from future solar installations.
