Areas of Technology Expertise

We have extensive expertise in the design of SMPSU ranging from 1W to many kW utilising all common topologies, such as Flyback, Forward, Half Bridge, and Full Bridge. We have a library of reference designs for the lower power ranges, particularly concentrating on the low component count, cost effective alternatives to older linear psu designs.

Custom magnetics design along with prototype facilities complement the wide range of standard components we have available, with all transformers designed to use UL recognised parts.

Our practical experience and knowledge of Safety standards and EMC regulations assists customers to achieve compliance with the minimum of cost.

To comply with Harmonic Distortion regulations, we have solutions for cost effective active PFC, utilising Transition Mode, Average Current Control, and Constant Off Time (COT) topologies, up to kW’s.

Again, our custom magnetics design allows us to provide optimum components, without compromising cost.

All battery chemistries can be catered for, including Lead Acid, Ni Cad, Ni MH, and Li ION, either analogue, Micocontroller or bespoke controlled, depending on your requirements.

Thermal management and miniaturisation are key areas where we have expertise, whilst Simulation and Design software packages ensure high performance and stability.

From simple Self Oscillating Bipolar designs, to the latest leading edge “Combo” chips incorporating PFC and Half Bridge control, coupled with latest technology MOSFETs produce extremely efficient, cool running and reliable cost effective solutions.

Our portfolio of reference designs is extensive. Off line solutions are split into non-isolated and isolated drivers, intended for either single LEDs or strings of multiple LEDs, and can incorporate multi-channel with Microcontrolled dimming capability.

Low voltage solutions include Buck, Boost, and Buck-Boost arrangements covering an extensive range or applications and markets.

Anglia Designs are able to provide technical support and advice to help you select the most suitable Discrete Semiconductor, RF Power Module, MMIC, or Frequency Source for your RF & Microwave applications. We offer Application Notes, Demo Boards, Gerber files, and Reference Designs (where available).

We have extensive experience of 8, 16 and 32-bit devices using all standard microcontroller peripherals. Individual engineers have knowledge of CAN, USB, Ethernet including TCP/IP and associated protocols, memory mapped external peripherals, ARM assembly code and all manner of control algorithms. Internally we also have Linux expertise in eCos, uCLinux and the Nano-X Window System. We have created graphical user interfaces (GUIs) on a variety of platforms.

We have worked on a number of Internet-aware products and can help setting your application up to use email, provide or consume a Web service or give a Web interface to your customers for control or monitoring purposes.

We have worked on a number of systems to allow in-application programming after the device has left the factory.

We provide a number of reference designs performed for customers and verified in production.

We can assist with serial or parallel interfaces over a number of protocols. We have worked on DDR SDRAM, SD cards, MMC cards and Compact Flash. We can let your application talk to a memory card programmed in an off-the-shelf PC with no specialist hardware which you can then read back on a PC with no specialist hardware.

Anglia Designs are able to provide extensive technical support and advice during your assessment and design-in of LCDs. We can also provide starter kits, evaluation boards and reference platforms to enable you to fast track the introduction of your end product.
