Full custom support case for AC/DC Power Adapter for industrial equipment | Optimization through power supply design based on required specifications
Case study of full custom support for AC/DC Power Adapter for industrial equipment. We introduce a real example of custom power supply development optimized from the design stage to meet required specifications that cannot be handled by existing Products.
目次
What Full Custom Support Means
Full custom support refers to custom power supply development designed from scratch based on required specifications, including circuit configuration, component selection, and specification conditions.
When existing Products or semi-custom solutions cannot meet requirements, we develop a power supply optimized for the specific equipment application.
Background of the Consultation | Why Semi-Custom Was Not Feasible
In this case, we initially considered a semi-custom approach. However, as we organized the specifications, the following challenges became clear.
- The required noise immunity far exceeded the scope of existing designs
- Safety standards in the target country significantly impacted the design from the early stages
- Interference with the equipment structure made it difficult to accommodate using existing configurations
For these reasons, we determined that full custom support was necessary.
Key Items Confirmed During the Hearing Stage
In full custom projects, the initial hearing process is extremely important. In this case, we focused particularly on the following points.
- Operating environment (indoor/outdoor, temperature and humidity conditions)
- Target countries and required safety standards
- Equipment lifespan and MTBF requirements
- Plans for future model expansion
Scope of Support | Design Optimization Based on Required Specifications
Based on the above hearing results, we conducted the following design studies.
- Circuit design with noise countermeasures in mind
- Selection of components suited to the operating environment
- Optimization of cable and connection specifications
- Design reflecting safety standard requirements
As a result, we achieved a power supply design optimized for the equipment specifications.
Key Points We Emphasize in Full Custom Support
UNIFIVE emphasizes the following in full custom projects.
- Design with mass production in mind, not only the prototype stage
- Ensuring component procurement availability and stable quality
- Flexibility for future specification changes
Differences from Semi-Custom
| Item | Semi-Custom | Full Custom |
|---|---|---|
| Design Base | Existing design | New design |
| Scope of Support | Partial specification adjustments | Overall optimization |
| Development Period | Short | Medium to long |
| Initial Cost | Low | High |
Cases Suitable for Full Custom Support
- Standard products or semi-custom solutions cannot meet the required specifications
- Safety standards significantly impact the design
- A dedicated power supply for specific equipment is required
UNIFIVE proposes the most suitable approach, whether semi-custom or full custom, while avoiding overengineering. Please feel free to consult with us from the specification planning stage.
