About us

ounded in 2013 as a spin out from the University of Plymouth (UK), Pulsiv was primarily focused on developing techniques for extracting more energy from solar panels. We designed and patented an improved system for efficiently converting DC to AC with results that outperformed market leading solutions.

By 2017, we had discovered that our patented methods could also be applied in AC to DC power electronics used in mains powered and battery charging applications. This made it possible to achieve an unrivalled efficiency profile, extend the range of conventional flyback designs and offer a host of additional features and benefits. We are constantly evolving our technology roadmap to deliver solutions that enable engineers to develop the next generation of module-level power electronics for the solar market and power electronics designs for mains powered applications.

Pulsiv is committed to helping the world move towards 100% renewable energy and reducing the impact that electronic devices have on the environment.

What is Pulsiv OSMIUM technology?

Using a patented switching technique, Pulsiv has developed an entirely new method for converting AC to DC that delivers a combination of game changing benefits in power electronics designs. Our unique technology has extended the range of conventional flyback topologies to replace expensive LLC solutions, whilst achieving an unrivalled efficiency profile.

• Uses a new and patented switching technique based on an active valley-fill approach
• Optimises the charging current and valley voltage
• Manages the AC to DC conversion process with a parallel capacitor
• Stores only enough energy to ride through the period where the grid cannot support the load
• Discharges the capacitor using a simple diode in the follow-on DC-DC converter
• Achieves 0.96 power factor
• Delivers 99.5% front-end efficiency
• Improves flyback efficiency*, reduces transformer size and lowers cost
• Extends the range of conventional flybacks to 180W with universal mains input

*A Pulsiv OSMIUM front-end reduces the peak operating voltage in the design of a flyback. As a result, efficiency is improved because the primary side inductance is reduced, leakage inductance is lowered, and the total available winding area is increased. 

To simplify the design process, we offer:

• Pulsiv OSMIUM microcontrollers which implement our patented switching techniques
• Front-end circuit configurations that include a Pulsiv OSMIUM microcontroller and supporting components for a complete AC to DC front-end design
• Evaluation boards for rapid development of power supplies that use a Pulsiv OSMIUM microcontroller and front-end circuit configuration
• Reference designs offering a complete solution by combining a Pulsiv OSMIUM microcontroller, AC to DC front-end design and carefully selected DC-DC converter
• Expert design support to assist in optimising the technology for various applications
• Tutorial videos providing an overview to various topics and compliment supporting documentation.

Pulsiv OSMIUM provides a scalable platform for engineers to reduce size, improve energy consumption and optimise cost when designing a power supply for virtually any mains powered or battery charging application.
