A family of extended trim range powerMods have been introduced by Excelsys. The XgM XgN, XgP and XgQ, which complement the company’s UltiMod and Xgen platforms, are available with nominal output voltages of 5, 12, 24 and 48V, respectively, and can be dynamically trimmed down to 1V. This feature offers unparallelled flexibility to system designers who need dynamic control of output voltages over extreme voltage ranges.

With output power levels from 200 to 288W, the modules are suitable for a broad range of applications in the medical, industrial and military markets.

These extended trim range power modules expand the existing range of Excelsys powerMods and can be used in any of the UltiMod, Xgen-Ultra Quiet, Xgen-High Power or XF Hi Rel/Mil COTS Modular platforms. These platforms are all certified to EN60950 for industrial applications and EN60601-1 2nd and 3rd Edition for medical applications, fully meeting the stringent creepage and clearance requirements, with 4KVAC isolation and less than 300uA leakage current. These solutions are also compliant with the SEMI F47 semiconductor manufacturing standard, meeting the voltage dips and interruption requirements.

All Excelsys products are compliant with relevant EMC emission and immunity standards. The power solutions deliver complete power supply efficiencies up to 92% and come with a five year warranty.

The XgM, XgN, XgP and XgQ powerMods can be connected in parallel or series for higher current and higher voltage solutions. Other features include -40°C start up.

Typical applications for Excelsys extended trim range powerMods include lasers, imaging and diagnostic equipment in the medical market along with industrial applications including test and measurement, automation, robotics and printing.
