Circuits with Technical Support Since 1981, Apex has been designing and manufacturing hybrid (chip and wire) power amplifiers. Careful attention to process development and control has made Apex the world leader in hybrid power. The products consistently perform per the data sheet. The product line now boasts the highest current, the highest voltage and highest wattage hybrids to be found anywhere in the industry. The expertise in handling large power levels electrically and thermally has been adapted to high reliability DC-DC converters. Unique construction techniques make these converters especially impervious to demanding environmental conditions. The Apex design philosophy provides converters with no de-rating over their entire operating temperature range. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) amplifiers share the same reliability as their linear counterparts but utilize switching technology to greatly extend the delivered power range while keeping wasted heat in the same area as the linears. 585 The present Apex facility is 55,000 sq. ft. on ten acres zoned such that we can double our size. Current sales are about $14M and we can do $25M in this building. Almost half the area and third the cost of the building are clean room related. This class 100,000 clean room keeps the ICs clean. Apex extends an invitation to you all to visit us and take a tour of our home to see first hand how we design and manufacture the world’s best power integrated circuits. 586 (cid:127) Total Quality Management (cid:127) Certified Mil-Std-1772 in 1989 (cid:127) Certified ISO9001 in 1994 Sigma Plus has led to consistent increases in quality and performance for Apex and our customers. Sigma Plus, our Total Quality Management program, continues to produce measurable quality improvements, a culture based on teamwork, and increased value for our customers. In alignment with Sigma Plus, we have instituted training and development in the fundamentals or our business, further supporting Apex teams with the tools they need to perform at high productivity and quality levels. With a firm foundation of Sigma Plus quality tools that solve the “how” of continuous improvement, team members are now learning the “why” with Open Book Management. As a result, Apex teams are gaining greater understanding of their personal impact on organizational systems and how they can directly improve organizational performance. By giving team members a stake in the outcome, they gain personal satisfaction and ownership of the products and services they provide to you, our customers. We will continue to improve our systems and processes to exceed our customers’ expectations. Feedback systems that identify internal and external customers’ needs and expectations keep Team Apex focused on customer value. Team members have increased their job skills and have become functionally cross-trained to quickly adapt to changes that anticipate customer needs. 587 DC-DC Converters Transform Isolate Regulate 588 As you can see, these welded all steel packages are rugged. This is the first indicator that these converters are no ordinary breed. They are designed from top to bottom to give reliable performance in the most demanding environments. 589 LINEAR POWER DELIVERY Pass Element Vs Load DRIVER The most popular DC-DC converter application vividly demonstrates why the DC-DC converter is the only reasonable choice compared to a linear regulator. This function is providing 5V for logic or computer circuits from a 28V bus. Let us assume the load requires 1A @ 5V or 5W. A linear regulator would pass the 1A while having 23V across it, thus wasting 23W. With an input power of 28W, efficiency is less than 18%! Unless the application also just happens to need a 23W heater, you pay twice; once to generate the 23W and again to get rid of it. Typical efficiencies of these DC- DC converters reduce this waste heat by better than an order of magnitude. 590
