Defect cause identification service

We can also provide services other than Macnica products!

  • I want to prevent the power supply troubles that are currently occurring before mass production!
  • I had a power supply problem during development, but I'm in trouble because I don't know the cause!

This is a defect identification service provided by Macnica for customers such as: Our engineers will help you quickly solve problems using the debugging experience and know-how cultivated through customer support.

All of a sudden the power supply stopped working! I got burnt!

Have you ever experienced a DC/DC converter on a board during development or mass production that lost output or burned out? Have you ever been troubled by a report stating that the failure analysis result was due to "overvoltage breakdown" and that it may be due to the application of overvoltage or noise from the outside?

I don't understand the cause by looking at the following pictures and diagrams.

Example of overvoltage breakdown

Where did the overvoltage and noise come from?

Where did the overvoltage and noise in the manufacturer's analysis occur and were applied?
Which of the following is the real cause of the problem?

  • There is a problem with the power supply IC (module) itself
  • Poor use of power supply IC (module)
  • Poor placement of peripheral components of the power supply IC (module)
  • Others

There are various possibilities like this, but it is difficult to identify the true cause without debugging experience. In some cases, even if two or three people spend more than a month debugging, the problem cannot be solved.

How to get service?

Please send us the "power supply circuit diagram", "board layout diagram", and "problem occurrence situation" where the power supply problem occurred.
We will investigate whether we can identify the cause of the problem. After that, we will report the cause of the problem, avoidance of the problem, and countermeasures for a fee.

Actual example: In one day, we resolved an inquiry that could not be resolved in 3 people/month.
* It will take several days to create the final report.

If you have a problem with the layout of the power supply circuit! ?

When a problem occurs with such a layout, we will summarize the countermeasures in a report and explain the cause of the problem.
