DC-to-DC converter expert
power-supply circuit expert
power electronics expert |
He has designed many types of DC-to-DC converters, both with and without galvanic isolation, at power levels from fractional watt to more than 1 kilowatt. In most cases, the converters were required to meet an electrical and environmental specification at minimum manufacturing cost and occupied volume. He also has performed qualification testing of vendor-supplied modular power converters. |
