Services: Technical Witts,
Inc. offers engineering services in the fields of power electronics and
technical applications software. We have an impressive record of technical
accomplishments and successful product designs. We have served a fairly wide
variety of clients ranging from small engineering companies to some Fortune 500
companies. By choosing Technical Witts, Inc. for your engineering services you
can be sure that you are getting a design that is both expertly executed and
innovative. We also offer educational services in the form of seminars on EMC.
Facilities: Technical Witts,
Inc. maintains a well equipped laboratory for power supply development. We own
all of the equipment necessary for the development of power supplies. We also
own computers and CAD software for printed circuit board development and power
supply simulation/analysis. We also own all of the tools necessary to develop
applications software products.
Other activities: A high
efficiency, high power density voltage regulator module is currently under
development. This product will be made available to patent licensees.
Professional advancement courses are in preparation. The first of these was
presented at APEC 03.
Major accomplishments: Many
of our designs have resulted in highly successful aerospace and commercial
products. Sales of our software product have grown steadily since its
introduction and it is beginning to see commercial success and acceptance. Our
first patent has been used in several successful commercial products. Our first
patent is the subject of the UCC3580 evaluation board which demonstrates the
advantages of soft switching in a simple flyback power supply. A power supply we
designed for the MSX satellite was tested at Goddard Space Flight Center and
found to have the lowest noise of any switched mode power supply ever tested
there at that time. Some of our patents represent significant advances to the
state of the art of power electronics and are very compelling. The technology
that we have invented places Technical Witts at the leading edge of power
converter development in the industry.
