Digitally controlled AC/DC platform is configurable

The four output module slots provide 19 nominal output voltage options from 3.3 to 60V DC. Outputs are derived from one of four base, digitally controlled, module designs offering a wide voltage adjustment range, says the company. This provides flexibility, minimises individual inventory items and supports fast turnaround delivery of products configured to exact customer requirements, says the company.

Cooling fans are positioned in the centre of the supply to reduce audible noise and allow users to specify the airflow direction to suit the application. The full output power rating is available regardless of airflow direction.

Both analogue and digital control is supported. The analogue signals include AC OK (global), DC OK (global and local module) in addition to remote on/off (global and local), voltage adjustment, remote sense and current share controls. The digital functions use a subset of the industry standard PMBus command protocol that include digital equivalents of all the analogue signals and controls together with over-voltage, over-temperature, over-current and fan-fail warning functions.

A GUI facilitates the control and configuration via an I²C interface using the PMBus commands. This can be used to refine the configuration during the system development phase.

The nanofleX complies with the medical and IT safety approval standards IEC/EN/ANSI/AAMI 60601-1 and IEC/EN/UL60950-1. It provides 2 x MOPP according to the 3^rd edition of the medical safety standard.

It also has a three-year warranty. Visit XP Power at electronica 2016: Hall A4-260
