High-power designs play a critical role in achieving energy efficiency, making them essential for various net-zero emission projects, such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, battery storage, grid infrastructure, and other applications. However, the complexities associated with high-power electronics design—including a lack of energy expertise, stringent functional safety and reliability requirements, intricate printed circuit board design, and the need for expensive test equipment—present challenges for innovators.
Arrow Electronics' High Power Center of Excellence (CdE) is strategically positioned to address these challenges. Leveraging its extensive expertise in high-voltage design, the CdE features a high-power laboratory in Swindon and the engineering team at eInfochips. The goal is to train innovators to navigate the complexities of high-power electronics design effectively.
“The increasing focus on decarbonization is driving electrification. High-voltage electronics is a key enabler, and at Arrow Electronics, customers have a trusted partner to help them navigate the energy transition effectively,” says Murdoch Fitzgerald, Vice President of Global Engineering and Design Services at Arrow Electronics. “The Swindon facility is renowned for its configurable power delivery capabilities, and the CdE is building on its legacy by investing in new equipment and engineering talent. We can now offer turnkey design services from the Swindon facility.”.
The high-power CdE will design innovative and cutting-edge products for all Arrow customers and its subsidiaries, such as Richardson RFPD.
