C-MAC MicroTechnology, one of the leading microelectronic companies in the world providing high reliability solutions for aerospace, defence and automotive applications has developed it's hybrid microcircuit technology specifically to address the needs of the Energy sector. Extensive experience in applications for harsh environments provides the ideal background to assist service companies developing high temperature solutions for energy production.

Our company prides itself on a wide range of industry-leading Quality accreditations and approvals which are a testament to our Quality systems and product robustness. C-MAC also operates an independent UKAS accredited Test House where an extensive range of climatic and dynamic tests can be conducted.

 

Oil and Gas exploration and production

C-MAC's high temperature technology can reduce costs and downtime by prolonging the life of expensive equipment and tools. C-MAC can provide custom microelectronic solutions to reduce unnecessary and costly downtime due to the failure of short life-time electronics within equipment encountering extremes during exploration for example MWD and LWD equipment. Our DC-DC converters are designed specifically to fit into a 1" tube providing an ideal solution for instrument power supplies. See below for further information.

 

Geothermal

The production of electricity from geothermal sources naturally requires robust, high temperature electronics to withstand the ambient environment . Many of the multi-chip module designs produced for the Oil & Gas industry may be suitable for even higher temperature applications in geothermal wells. Contact us for the latest product and technology development for application in this sector.

 

Nuclear

Plant safety from the monitor and control of critical systems is the number one requirement for the generation of electricity from a nuclear reactor. C-MAC MicroTechnology's 25-year plus experience with manufacturing components and systems for the space industry provides us with a comprehensive set of tools for the design and manufacture of product requiring 20 years plus operation without servicing or adjustment. Applications where high reliability is critical to safety and survivability are ideally served by C-MAC's hybrid microcircuit technology.

 

Renewable energy sources

C-MAC's Experience with robust electronics encompasses all circuit and system production techniques. With specification of the ambient environment, electrical function and size constraints, we can can assist you and your organisation with the design and manufacture of your electronic products. From bearing wear sensors in wind turbines to inverters in tidal generators contact C-MAC for more information.

High Temperature (225°C) Electronics for down-well applications

225C DC-DC converter

C-MAC MicroTechnology has developed a high temperature interconnect process for the design and manufacture of hybrid microcircuit modules operating continuously at 225°C. The first product to be realised using our ground-breaking technology is a DC-DC converter designed to fit in a 1" diameter tube. C-MAC has developed the high temperature 20 Watt module based around CISSOID’s ETNA design. Various output voltages are available in the range 2.5V to 25V from inputs up to 30V.

 

 

The technology employed in the DC-DC converter is available to realise custom designed products for specific applications. For further information, please click here
