XP Power’s latest medical, low-profile, AC/DC switchers, the PBM200 (200W) and PBM300 (300W), combine the flexibility of up to four outputs with an MTBF of over 300,000 hours (MIL-HDBK-217F at 25 deg C) and full medical agency safety approvals. The PBM200 is 177.8 x 101.6 x 38.1mm (7 x 4 x 1.5 inches) and the PBM300 190.5 x 114.3 x 44.45mm (7.5 x 4.5 x 1.75 inches). There are 22 models in the PBM200 series and 21 in the PBM300 family.

Schaefer, Inc. has enhanced its pure sine wave inverter offering with the new AEP-3000R Series of 3KVA rackmount products. The output waveform of the AEP-3000R Series is a true sine wave, with less than 3% total harmonic distortion, which delivers “clean” output power for powering sensitive loads and for improving AC equipment performance.

XP Power has brought together a series of proven power supply design techniques in a new and innovative way to create the world’s smallest 212W, single output AC/DC switcher dubbed the EMA212.

Power-One, Inc has introduced the SSQ Series of sixteenth-brick DC-DC converters. Operating from 36-75VDC inputs, three single-output models provide 2.5V @ 20A, 3.3V @ 15A, and 5.0V @ 10A. High efficiencies and advanced thermal management techniques enable delivery of up to 95% of full-rated power at 70°C with as little as 200 LFM of cooling.

Texas Instruments has announced that the POLA alliance has agreed to offer pin-compatible plug-in modules based on TI's T2 non-isolated, power modules with ultra-fast transient response.

Requiring a single external resistor to very accurately set its output current, the ZXLD1350 from Zetex Semiconductors simplifies high power LED driving. Operating from an input supply of between 7V and 30V, the driver can produce an adjustable output current of up to 350mA, to support an LED chain of up to eight 1W LEDs.

Fairchild Semiconductor has expanded its Smart Power Module portfolio by adding 50 and 75A-rated Motion-SPM devices targeting 5kW to 7.5kW commercial and industrial inverter motor designs. Fairchild now offers designers SPM products covering the full inverter motor power range from 50W to 7.5kW.

Powersolve introduces a buffer module - a power back-up device that will supply stand-by voltage for a 24VDC power supply without the need for batteries.

The latest in the Trio Power range of power supplies from Phoenix Contact includes book-shaped DIN rail single-phase supplies up to 500W suitable for use across a wide range of applications.

Vicor had added seven mid-power Micro DC-DC converters to its high-density 24Vdc input family: 50W models at 3.3, 5, 12, 15, 24, 28, and 48Vout. The modules — which incorporate Vicor’s low-noise Zero-Current and Zero-Voltage Switching (ZCS/ZVS) — are appropriate for power system applications in industrial and process control, distributed power, medical, ATE, communications, defence, and aerospace.
