Projects

Since 2004 we delivered hundreds of hardware and software projects. The challenges we faced shaped the way we work today. Always striving to provide high quality solutions, we empowered our clients to thrive and innovate in their business areas.

Domains

Through the projects we have delivered, our teams have been acquainted with business processes across a multitude of industries. This experience enables us to complement technical skills with relevant business knowledge and thus meet specific customer requirements.

POWER ELECTRONICS

Deep knowledge of power electronics devices based on both Si and SiC technologies: Mosfet, IGBT, Diodes, IPM, SCR, and their drive circuits. Great experience with several switching circuits and topologies: step-up and step-down, half and full-bridge, isolated and non-isolated, phase-shift ZVS and ZCS, resonant, LLC, DAB. Snubber circuits, protection circuits, power magnetics. SPICE based simulation in both time and frequency domain.
We design, prototype and manufacture high-efficiency power systems from a few watts up to tens of kilowatts. Our experience in power electronics, magnetic components and efficient thermal management able us to provide best-in-class power converters.

Progettiamo, prototipiamo e produciamo sistemi di conversione dell’energia ad alta efficienza da pochi watt fino a decine di kilowatt. La nostra esperienza nell’elettronica di potenza, nei componenti magnetici e nella gestione termica efficiente ci consente di fornire sistemi di conversione best-in-class.

DIGITAL CONTROLLERS

We develop and manufacture digital control boards on multilayer printed circuits, based on microcontroller architecture, DSP and programmable logic, including analog, digital or field bus based I/O interfaces. We have great skills in the design of very low consumption boards for battery powered and energy harvesting applications.
