Passive Components
Information from Avnet Kopp
Pulse is a designer and manufacturer of passive magnetics-based electronic components - inductors, chokes, transformers and delay lines - that are basic to the operation of data networking, broadband/Internet access, consumer electronics, telecoms and power-conversion devices.
Typically mounted on PCBs or within connector modules near microprocessors, ICs, and other elements, these components manage and regulate electronic signals and power by filtering out RF interference and ensuring proper current and voltage. Without them, today's computers, networks, wireless phones, TVs and other devices and technologies simply would not operate.
Pulse designs and produces primarily customised components and component modules to the exacting specifications of major manufacturers. It also markets a full line of off-the-shelf magnetic components to small-volume customers.
Under the Excelsus brand, Pulse offers an innovative line of products that deliver broadband Internet access and home networking over conventional telephone lines. Its Z-Blocker phone and alarm system filters are the top sellers among telecom carriers, ISPs and consumers in the US and around the world.
Pulse's Military/Aerospace division produces delay lines, data bus couplers, interface transformers and other high-reliability components for the defence, telecom, computer and other industries.
Pulse's Consumer Division develops and markets television flyback and switch-mode transformers, plus other magnetics-based components for consumer electronics devices.
Pulse works closely with third-party semiconductor manufacturers and participates in industry standards committees around the world to assure a continual flow of leading-edge products. It has manufacturing facilities worldwide.
