QuadTech Acquired by Chroma Systems Solutions
Chroma Systems Solutions, Inc. (CSS) announced the acquisition of primary assets of Massachusetts-based QuadTech, Inc., a specialist provider of electrical safety equipment and systems. CSS, located in Southern California, is a solutions provider of power electronics testing instrumentation and systems. Under Chroma’s ownership, QuadTech customers will benefit from an increased product offering and power testing expertise as well as more access to inventory, applications, services and world-class customer support.
Established more than 20 years ago, QuadTech achieved strong business growth and forged strong relationships with their customer base distributing products manufactured by Chroma under their brand. QuadTech, which now will operate entirely under the Chroma brand, will be led by Chroma Systems Solutions’ President and CEO, Fred Sabatine.
"We are pleased to announce our new partnership with QuadTech, a world renowned company with an excellent knowledge in the electrical safety test market," said Mr. Sabatine. "The two companies provide distinct areas of expertise and share many positive attributes, including maintaining a high standard of engineering knowledge with the sales teams and providing great customer care. We are confident this acquisition will contribute to our commitment to exceed customer expectations for cost-effective test equipment, service and support and allow Chroma to become better known at a wide range of new customers.
With this acquisition, QuadTech employees join Chroma Systems Solutions in providing sales and service of Chroma’s comprehensive line of electrical power test instrumentation and automated test systems as well as safety testers throughout North American including new products targeted at emerging commercial and defense markets, solar, EV/Automotive and LED. It was also announced that Mike Cronin has rejoined the QuadTech team and will head Chroma’s Eastern sales and service center.
"This will provide great opportunities for our customers," says Mr. Cronin. "As part of the Chroma brand, our sales engineers are now able to offer our customers a wider selection of power test products and automated testing systems without any interruption in the service and support they have come to expect."

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
