Power Design

Nuvation’s power supply design team will specify appropriate bricks and (POLA) modules for system-level designs where such devices are suitable. Many of our power designs involve custom, discrete power supplies for specialized form factor and efficiency requirements, power regulation on digital boards, power management for portable electronics, and hot-swapping and redundant power for datacom & telecom applications.
