Supplies deliver cost-effective performance
The PSG Series of external desktop power supplies is designed to suit a wide range of applications, and is claimed to deliver exceptional performance at an extremely competitive price.
15W convertors are only half the size
A new generation of isolated high-performance 15W DC/DC convertors feature a package that is 50% smaller than competing products.
Each module can offer single, dual or triple outputs and, depending on the module combination selected, the power supply can provide between 1.8 and 60V DC.
Input is power factor corrected universal 85 to 264V AC with output power up to 1500W.
Developed by Astec, the iMP Series uses the I2C bus to monitor key parameters including voltage, current, temperature and elapsed time.
According to Powersolve's Managing Director Peter Clark, the iMP Series will suit low to medium volume users looking for a high specification custom power supply with a host of user benefits.
"It will be interesting to see how the customer profile develops for this new type of power source, but my guess is that customers will quickly see the benefit in the extra control capabilities and will see the variety of output ranges as a fast way to get exactly the power supply they need".
The iMP Series provides overtemperature, overvoltage and overcurrent protection and current sharing on all outputs less than 10A.
The I2C bus also allows temperature monitoring and intelligent fan speed control.
Operating temperature range is very wide at -40 to +70C.
iMP Series power supplies meet all major worldwide safety, electrical, medical and EMC standards including EN60601.
They are also RoHS compliant.
