Pulsiv

Founded in 2013 as a spin-off from the University of Plymouth, Pulsiv initially focused on enhancing energy extraction from solar panels. They developed a patented system for efficient DC to AC conversion that outperformed existing solutions. By 2017, Pulsiv expanded its technology to improve AC to DC power electronics, enhancing efficiency, extending flyback design ranges, and offering new features. The company continuously advances its technology to support the development of next-generation power electronics for both solar and mains-powered applications, aiming to promote renewable energy and minimize the environmental impact of electronic devices.

Pulsiv Osmium Technology

Using a patented switching technique, Pulsiv has developed an entirely new method for converting AC to DC that delivers a combination of game changing benefits in power electronics designs. Their unique technology has extended the range of conventional flyback topologies to replace expensive LLC solutions, whilst achieving an unrivalled efficiency profile.

To simplify the design process, Pulsiv offers:

Pulsiv OSMIUM microcontrollers which implement the patented switching techniques
Front-end circuit configurations that include a Pulsiv OSMIUM microcontroller and supporting components for a complete AC to DC front-end design
Evaluation boards for rapid development of power supplies that use a Pulsiv OSMIUM microcontroller and front-end circuit configuration
Reference designs offering a complete solution by combining a Pulsiv OSMIUM microcontroller, AC to DC front-end design and carefully selected DC-DC converter
Expert design support to assist in optimising the technology for various applications
Tutorial videos providing an overview to various topics and compliment supporting documentation.

Pulsiv OSMIUM provides a scalable platform for engineers to reduce size, improve energy consumption and optimise cost when designing a power supply for virtually any mains powered or battery charging application.
