High-Efficiency DC/DC Converter for Data Center Equipment

A 4.5kW gaN FET Power Inverter

A Director of Engineering at a large company known for designing modern data center equipment needed to develop the electronics for a high-efficiency 400V Bidirectional DC/DC Converter. This was for a new line of UPS products featuring DAB (Dual Active Bridge) topology, MOSFETs as switching elements, and a transformer.

The project demanded a 3kW and 4.5kW version, capable of boosting voltages and functioning as a battery charger, with a 400VDC bus on the high voltage side and a 100VDC battery on the low voltage side.

However, the Director’s design team was constantly pulled away by urgent matters, causing significant delays to the point that due dates and expectations for completing things on time became nonexistent. Overwhelmed and frustrated, the Director needed extra help to take over and complete the project with minimal oversight.

Fortunately, their trusted PCB manufacturer, with a track record of handling complex designs, recommended Henway Technologies. This connection led the Director to reach out and start a conversation about the services we offer. He was relieved to learn that we had several advanced power supply engineers and project managers available at $125/hr, ready to assist.

During the quoting process, we participated in meetings to outline the project requirements. Once the criteria were documented, Henway took charge of the project, utilizing our expertise in high-efficiency converter design.

We conducted weekly meetings and phase reviews to ensure the project stayed on course. Our team developed the firmware, built the prototypes, and validated the design; the Director’s team only needed to provide specifications and answer questions.

Thanks to effective teamwork and Henway’s dedicated support, the Director’s project got back on track. This allowed his team to redirect their attention to urgent matters while also meeting the company’s expectations to deliver new innovations.

By partnering with Henway Technologies, you can ensure your projects are completed efficiently and effectively, even in the face of pressing deadlines and competing priorities. Contact us today to see how we can help you achieve your goals!
