In this episode of PSDtv the founding members of the Architects of Modern Power (AMP) consortium, Ericsson, Murata, and CUI, talk with Alix Paultre of Power Systems Design about the new group and what it means for the power electronics marketplace. The goal of the alliance between CUI, Ericsson Power Modules and Murata is to realize the most technically advanced, end-to-end solutions and provide a complete ecosystem of hardware, software and support. Beyond purely mechanical specifications, it is the standardization of monitoring, control and communications functions, and the creation of common configuration files for plug-and-play interoperability that will ensure compatibility between each firms’ products.
