Accelerating Product Development with Design Tools

For our customers, releasing a new product onto the market can be a significant risk. Developing custom reference designs represents a costly investment in resources, and the market window may be short for generating enough sales to cover high initial costs. In such cases, time-to-market remains a critical factor in the return on investment calculation. To support our customers, RECOM offers a range of specialized evaluation boards and reference designs, allowing engineers to quickly evaluate and verify that our power converter products will fulfil the needs of their applications. These power solutions reduce development time.

The evaluation boards come with pre-soldered converters on PCBs with break-out connectors for power, control, sense or trim pins. Also included are filter components to meet Class B EMC levels. The customer can solder alternate filter components onto spare pads to optimize the EMI performance in their application. Output voltage setting resistors are also included so that multiple voltage rail power supplies can be quickly realized. These power supply tools streamline power supply design.

Our reference designs are complete sub-assemblies to allow customers to try out different components and converters to optimize the performance of their design. We include full BoM and Gerber file information with the reference design tools, allowing engineers to accelerate their design process by cut-and-pasting known working solutions into their final application. This simplifies circuit design and reduces project risk.
