Alternate energy applications typically range from solar panels, wind mills, and hydro generators, to fuel cells. The power harvested from these generation sources must be converted to a more useable form and managed on a distribution grid. AVX produces a wide variety of components to address this power conversion, storage, distribution and management circuitry. AVX offers components that allow circuits and systems to be more reliable and efficient. Additionally, once the power is harvested, modified and utilized, problems with electromagnetic interference can occur. AVX has patented miniature SMT EMI filters capable of assisting designers to meet noise regulations in power and signal line applications.
