SL Power‘s TREPP Optimization Enables Seamless Integration to Help Reduce Development Time and Cost

PublishTime： 2021-07-15 Article Source：SL Power

TREPP is not only an acronym representing the five performance dimensions of power conversion but a standard that SL POWER engineers strictly adhere to. Optimizing TREPP is a primary consideration throughout the entire product development cycle and a driving force behind SL Power's mission to provide the most rugged, reliable, high efficiency, and high value-added power conversion solutions for their customers' mission-critical applications.

·Thermal Management

Thermal performance is a primary consideration for power supplies. Better thermal performance results in longer-lasting power supplies, which is why SL Power focuses on yielding the highest convection ratings in the industry.

·Reliability

Reliability is the degree to which a specification can be depended on to be accurate. This can relate to a product's ability to consistently operate as specified. The high degree of reliability results in easier integration into end equipment.

·EMI/EMC Performance

Effectively managing EMI and prioritizing EMC during the design process, ensures that our supplies can be easily integrated into any system and function efficiently and effectively with other system components.

·Power Efficiency

Higher efficiency means that less power is wasted in the conversion process. Considering that wasted power manifests itself as radiated heat, higher power efficiency translates to a longer operating life of the power supply.

·Power Density

The amount of power per unit volume is expressed as Watts-per-cubic-inch(w/in3). Power density is an important consideration where space is constrained, and the maximum amount of power is desired.

SL Power products are designed to optimize these key performance criteria, resulting in well-balanced and versatile power conversion solutions that seamlessly integrate into the end application.

Typically, a power supply will be designed to excel in one or two of these criteria. Imagine five magnets with the same polarity facing into a circle. The mission of a power supply designer is to get those magnets as close to each other as possible, but the magnets repel each other. With a power supply, designing for one variable within TREPP has an impact on the other variables. Finding the optimal balance is a grueling task that is ignored by many power supply manufacturers.

At SL Power, we take the time to optimize the design across all five performance dimensions to enable seamless integration, which results in shorter development time and cost reduction for our customers.

Comparative analysis is an important step along the TREPP Optimization journey. SL Power regularly conducts benchmark testing to compare the performance of its power supplies with competing models. The benchmark data is synthesized into spider charts that illustrate the overall performance of these models and clearly depict which is superior. SL Power products are not deemed worthy of market release until these spider charts clearly demonstrate that they are superior across the entire performance spectrum.

At SL Power, we strive to be recognized as the preferred partner for power conversion solutions to those customers who value dedication to quality design and optimal performance.
