Case Studies

The customer was unable to meet the strict requirements of EN IEC 61326-1:2021 with its compact 1.5 kW and 3 kW laboratory power supplies (1U height), and TPS became a key partner for successful certification. ▎ From failure to certification: Efficient remediation within one week The first EMC test run showed that the requirements of… Read More »

Initial situation TPS Elektronik GmbH was commissioned by a customer from the medical sector to develop a lightweight and portable charge/discharge device for lithium-ion batteries (IC2 bus). The goal was to create a user-friendly, compact system designed to ensure reliable and safe energy management. The TPS solution Our team managed the entire development chain: from… Read More »

System integrators and OEMs rarely fail because they lack a power conversion concept. They lose time—and budget—when the physical power supply circuit board cannot handle the thermal and current density required to meet aggressive size targets. A global manufacturer of high‑power industrial laser systems faced this exact barrier when developing a next‑generation laser driver. Their… Read More »

System integrators and OEMs rarely fail because they lack a functional design. They lose time—and budget—when the mechanical assembly of dozens of small, individual brackets, fasteners, and mounting plates becomes a hidden bottleneck on the production floor. A leading manufacturer of industrial packaging machinery faced exactly this challenge with their new high‑speed cartoning module. The… Read More »

A German automotive Tier 1 supplier faced a critical project milestone: their 48 V to 12 V DC-DC converter for an electric vehicle platform had to pass CISPR 25 Class 5 conducted emissions. The most stringent automotive EMI standard. Initial pre-compliance testing at TPS Elektronik’s EMC laboratory revealed excessive noise across the AM and FM… Read More »

In December 2025, NXP Semiconductors confirmed it would close its ECHO wafer fab in Chandler, Arizona. A facility opened in 2020 specifically to manufacture GaN-based power amplifiers for 5G base stations. The company’s RF power business “no longer aligns with its long-term strategy,” and NXP expects to complete final GaN wafer runs in the first… Read More »
