References

To give you the possibility to learn about PDI.Engineering and the skills and abilities available I created this reference section to show some of the things that were done in the past.
Please keep in mind that many customers don't appreciate their projects being displayed in detail, which is why there aren't that many customer projects to display yet.
Customers projects won't be displayed as long as no written permission to do so is granted.

Certificates
To ensure the highest quality possible it is needed to know about modern technology and techniques. For that reason it goes without saying that frequent trainings and courses are used to keep ourselves educated. To see an overview of the granted certificates please click here.

Bachelors Thesis
Developing a method to evaluate the non-linear effects and the behaviour in saturation of
power inductors used as a reference impedances for flicker measurements according to EN 61000-3-3

In my bachelors thesis I developed a method to characterize high value power inductors in a simple and precise way.
This thesis was made in cooperation with ZES ZIMMER Electronic Systems GmbH, who providing the neccessary equipment and helped in questions regarding the measurement procedure.
You can download the thesis (right now only in german language) here. A translated version will be available shortly.

Application Note - Fine adjustment of power inductors using the stray field
While working on the bachelors thesis I developed a very simple method to fine adjust power inductors by using/utilizing the stray field created by the inductor itself.
As this method is been used in a device of a former employer I can't write about it in details without a written permission.
If I get the permission I will elaborate the technique, the problems involving it and the idea behind it in detail.

74141-e - A simple replacement for an old IC
This is a small project which was done basically out of curiosity.
I didn't have enough 74141 Nixie driver ICs in the lab to rebuild a vintage piece of metrology equipment, which is why I decided to just try and create a simple component that can mimic the features of the 74141 and 7441A out of modern SMD components, with the goal to have a pin compatible drop in replacement.

20Arms mains inrush current limiter with various safety features
I needed a way to limit the inrush current of my 5kVA isolation transformer, which is why I developed this inrush current limiter which is capable of 20Arms continuous.
It is designed for easy assemble as a DIY kit and uses a low BOM count to keep costs down.

More projects I worked on will be added soon.
