Power Supples for Avionics and Harsh Environments

A development process requiring products to meet or exceed stringent internal design guidelines. Products are subjected to a series of rigorous reviews with brutally honest and logical judgements at each stage.

• Large, global, fully-qualified component database giving economy of scale and long product life cycles
• Worldwide unified design standards
• Best in class operating life times, field failures are reduced by designing E-caps for 15+ year life, applying proper electrical and thermal derating, and use of high quality components
• Higher efficiency and advanced thermal management result in lower operating temps, longer life and lower total cost of ownership
• Detailed EVT/DVT test plan incorporating lessons learned from decades of experience in field applications
• Uncompromising Product Qualification consistent with IPC9592B guidelines - HALT, TCT, THB, HASS, shock and vibration, demonstrated life testing
• Reliability models and component stress analysis; MTBF, Bel-core, Mil-Std-217 and DMTBF analysis in production

Quality can never be assured by final inspection. Quality is an integral part of everything we do. Our process includes a tightly controlled approved vendor list (AVL), incoming inspection, rigorous testing, field proven topologies and components, test data validation, and extraordinary process reliability. These factors combine to generate elite product quality levels.

• Industry-leading warranties
• Rigid component AVL selection and management process
• A supply chain committed to utilize only authorized sources of supply
• Advanced statistical controls, Process capability index – Cp, CpK requirements
• Pilot production process to study processes and guarantee high manufacturing yields within specification
• Many process inspection controls including checkpoints at component, sub-assembly, and final product levels
• Professional Failure Analysis to identify root cause to component level
• Corrective Action reports (8-D) accompanied by extensive technical support to help resolve application issues and prevent additional failures

Our position as a highly experienced, leading global supplier means we can capitalize on our extensive Advanced Technology Research. Our collaboration with top universities and our expanding portfolio of over 700 patents offers assurances we will provide the next generation of innovative, leading edge power solutions to our customers. Highly motivated R&D teams, located in design facilities worldwide, apply knowledge of the key attributes from a myriad of different applications gained from years of experience.

• Leaders in development and practical application of advanced technologies
• Higher Efficiencies – leading to less waste heat generation, enabling greater power densities and smaller product sizes
• Detailed thermal analysis with derating, allowing peak power requirements commonly found in medical equipment to be delivered reliably and safely without oversizing (and overpaying) for the power supply
• TDK-Lambda has benefited from TDK's acknowledged expertise in ferrite and multilayer capacitors by jointly developing advanced components to improve the efficiency and performance of TDK-Lambda's power supply products
• Integrating the latest components (GaN semiconductors), topologies (bridgeless totem pole PFC), and design techniques (full digital control)into our latest product designs such as the PFH
• In house firmware and software development to develop IP and respond quickly to customer modification requests
• Manufacturing is done in TDK-Lambda owned factories. This allows advanced process development and new manufacturing techniques can be seamlessly incorporated into products.
• Highly automated DVT and thermal characterization testing process allows testing over a broad range of operating conditions and guarantees consistent results

TDK-Lambda has the unique ability to leverage our global platforms to best utilize the strength of our worldwide engineering teams. This enhances our abilities in quality, reliability, customer support, and innovation for new products.

• Six Global Engineering centers of expertise; Japan, China, Singapore, UK, Israel, USA
• Attracting & retaining Good Talent - TDK has R&D centers near major universities (Bristol, UK; Tokyo, Japan; Karmiel, Israel)
• All TDK-Lambda engineering and sales centers, plus our directly owned factories are ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified
• Extensive library of innovative field-proven designs
• Comprehensive in-house qualification and validation facilities with FA down to component level

TDK-Lambda has celebrated more than 71 years in the business, demonstrating our longevity in the highly competitive world of power supply design and manufacturing. Since 1945, we have developed a worldwide reputation and heritage for high quality, robust power supplies. As of October 1, 2008, Lambda was fully integrated as part of the Power Systems Business Group of TDK Corporation and became TDK-Lambda Corporation, Inc. Our parent organization, TDK Corporation, is a leading $12+ Billion global electronics company, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. TDK was established in 1935 to commercialize "ferrite", a key material in electronics and magnetic products.

• Diversified Market strategy (Industrial, Medical, Telecom, COTs) has enabled TDK-Lambda to weather the economic market changes
• TDK-Lambda sales rank in the top 10 global power supply companies
• Financial Stability: Moody’s A3 rating & Standard & Poor’s A- rating (2019)

Uniquely we can provide the optimum manufacturing strategy for your needs in our own fully equipped plants from low volume to high volume manufacturing. We have multiple strategically located warehouses, offering a full menu of logistic services including tailor-made solutions.

• Samples, pilots and prototype units from a channel strategy geared around speed & availability
• Factories designed and equipped with logistical capabilities capable to scale during growth cycles
• TDK-Lambda owned warehouses located in all five (5) key geographic locations
• Established set of Distribution partners, carrying more than $25 million in inventory
• Program End-of-Life logistic strategies
