Reference Designs

There are increasing cases in which a highly versatile reference design based on device selection and optimal solutions of circuits is being used as an efficient development design approach.
Not only schematics as reference circuit but also PCB pattern data, Gerber data, and sample software as reference design are available for quick advancement of equipment designs.
We hope these reference designs can be used as a base for new designs and support turn-key development which helps in reducing labor.
