Evaluation Boards
Evaluation Boards: AC to DC Front-End
The Pulsiv OSMIUM AC to DC front-end evaluation boards allow engineers to quickly evaluate our power conversion technology for any application up to 250W. It supports universal input and can be adapted to test various circuit configurations. Simply connect a suitable DC-DC converter on the HVDC output to produce a complete power supply prototype.

Additional Design Resources
Reference Designs
Reference designs deliver a complete end-to-end solution that combine a Pulsiv OSMIUM microcontroller, AC to DC front-end circuit configuration and a carefully selected DC-DC converter. Developed for both general purpose and specific applications, they can be adopted without making any changes or further modified according to the needs of the end product.
Pulsiv OSMIUM reference designs are offered in two formats. A paper reference design provides a proven foundation for customers to adapt according to cost, size or performance requirements and suitable for general purpose applications. A full reference design additionally includes a complete PCB layout with EMI test data.
Video Tutorials
We are currently preparing a number of short video tutorials that will provide an in-depth explanation of our technology to help simplify the design process.
