Tyco Electronics has announced that it has entered into a royalty-based technology licensing agreement with Astec Power that will allow Astec Power and its affiliates to use patented Tyco Power Systems technology in its current designs for its isolated converter eighth-brick and sixteenth-brick families of power modules.
This agreement, which currently extends for the life of the patents, will benefit users by allowing them to receive Astec's power modules supported by patented technology from Tyco Power Systems.
This technology is designed to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of self-synchronised rectifiers for application to clamped-mode power converters.
