Full custom case study of AC/DC Power Adapter for industrial equipment | Optimized through power supply design based on required specifications
A case study of full custom support for AC/DC Power Adapter for industrial equipment. We introduce an example of custom power supply development optimized from the design stage to meet specifications that cannot be handled by existing Products.

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 are difficult to adapt, 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, but as we organized the specifications, the following challenges became clear.
- Required noise resistance far exceeded the scope of existing designs
- Safety standard requirements for the destination country significantly impacted the design from the early stages
- Interference with the equipment structure made existing configurations difficult to apply
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 on the following points.
- Operating environment (indoor/outdoor, temperature and humidity conditions)
- Target countries and required safety standards
- Equipment lifespan and MTBF requirements
- Future model expansion plans
Details of Our Approach | Design Optimization Based on Required Specifications
Based on the above hearing results, we conducted the following design studies.
- Circuit configuration 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 places emphasis on the following in full custom projects.
- Designs that consider mass production, not just the prototype stage
- Ensuring component 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 or semi-custom products cannot meet the required specifications
- Safety standards have a significant impact on the design
- A dedicated power supply for specific equipment is required
UNIFIVE proposes the most appropriate solution while avoiding overengineering, whether semi-custom or full custom. Please feel free to consult with us starting from the specification review stage.
