Vicor has introduced a high power (>1100 W/in3) 320W PRM non-isolated regulator. Designated P045F048T32AL, this latest V•I Chip component is designed for high-performance 48V power applications such as servers, telecom and ATE. It provides a controlled Factorized Bus distribution voltage for powering downstream VTM current multipliers, creating fast, efficient, isolated, low-noise Point-of-Load (POL) converters. With an efficiency of 97% and m...

Portable system designers who want to guarantee that the battery charges at maximum available current during simultaneous system operation must typically build that functionality into the system with discrete components. By continuously monitoring the power needs of the system during operation and automatically adjusting charge current accordingly, AnalogicTech’s AAT3670 delivers the highest possible charge current to the battery and thereby m...

Linear Technology has announced the LTC3446, a 1A, 2.25 MHz, synchronous buck regulator with two 300mA VLDOs in a single monolithic IC. The input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V makes this triple output regulator ideal for single cell Li-Ion/Polymer, or multicell alkaline/NiCad/NiMH powered applications. It can generate output voltages as low as 0.8V from the buck regulator and 0.4V for each of the VLDOs, enabling it to power the latest generation ...

UNIPOWER has announced additions to its Sigma Series of hot-swap front-ends and rectifiers. The new models, now rated at up to 650W, have the same 1U x 2U profile (40.6 x 83.8mm) and are only 279mm long. They also incorporate a number of features designed to make the power sources easy to use and easy to monitor, particularly when used with the customer friendly 19” shelf. At just 0.95Kg (2.05lbs ), they are also among the lightest units ava...

SL Power Electronics Corporation, the company established following the merger of Condor DC Power and Ault, announces a 10 to18W switch mode power supply family designed to help medical equipment OEMs replace linear power supplies with a single, energy-efficient, globally compatible switch-mode power unit. The Ault MW172 family features a 100VAC to 240VAC Universal Input range and meets the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STA...

Providing an adjustable output current of 1A from a SOT23 package, the ZXLD1360 LED driver from Zetex Semiconductors offers higher power density than alternative and much larger SO8 devices. A buck regulator device, it operates over a supply range of 7V to 30V and is capable of handling up to 24W of output power in a wide range of high power LED illumination applications. Achieving up to 95% efficiency, this LED driver’s thermally enhanced con...

The A6280 from Allegro MicroSystems Europe is a new 3-bit constant current LED driver which enables users to minimise the number of components needed to drive LEDs with large pixel spacing. The new driver controls LED luminance using a pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme which gives the application the capability of displaying up to one billion colours. An external resistor is used to set the overall maximum current, which can be set over a wide ...

HiTek Power has added the OL20K 20kW family to its range of high voltage power supplies, offering output voltages from 60kV to 200kV and beyond. The eight members of this family have been built to meet the requirements of ion beam and electron beam systems. In addition to standard units, the supplies can be customised to meet specific requirements. Each system consists of a converter, in a 6U, 19 inch rack-mounting unit, and a separate high vol...

Yuasa Battery will present its widest ever range of industrial batteries for security and fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, CCTV, UPS and OEM electrical equipment applications at IFSEC 2007 (May 21st to 24th 2007, NEC Birmingham). Yuasa, a leading global manufacturer of valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries, has worldwide manufacturing plants and an extensive marketing and distribution network throughout the UK and Europe.

UNIPOWER Europe, the industry’s leading high density, hot-swap power supply manufacturer, has made a significant addition to its website www.unipowercorp.com By adding an online “Live Support” facility, UNIPOWER Europe is providing its customers with the opportunity to search for and discuss the company’s product offering in the live company of a member of UNIPOWER’s sales support team. “Live Support” is available from 8am until ...
