High Power Design Services

Powered by Arrow Swindon CoE

High-power designs are critical to achieving energy efficiency. They are fundamental to net-zero initiatives such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, battery storage, grid infrastructure, and other applications. However, the complexities involved in high-power electronics design, ranging from limited power domain expertise, stringent functional safety and reliability requirements, intricate PCB layouts to the need for expensive testing equipment, pose significant challenges for innovators. 

The High-Power Center of Excellence (CoE) of Arrow Electronics, located in Swindon, United Kingdom, supports customers in the development of custom power solutions. It is a key enabler of electrification and sustainability goals. The CoE features a state-of-the-art lab and a highly skilled engineering team from eInfochips, offering extensive expertise in high-power design, integration, testing, and production.  

By accelerating and de-risking design cycles and leveraging robust power infrastructure, the Swindon CoE helps innovators navigate the complexities of high-power electronics and effectively manage their product roadmap and lifecycle.
