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.
They produce a main +12V DC output, together with an auxiliary 3.3V DC output for applications that require standby operation.
The DS650DC and 850DC modules have power output ratings of 650 and 850W, respectively.
The DS850DC can deliver up to 70A at +12V DC from its main output and up to 6A from its 3.3V DC auxiliary output.
Both modules offer active single-wire current sharing which operates from 10 to 100% of full load, enabling multiple modules to be easily paralleled for very high current applications.
The modules are all hot pluggable, and incorporate low-loss internal ORing FETs on their main 12V output, for fault-tolerant and N+1 redundancy applications.
They have no minimum load requirement, and maintain main output regulation to within +/-5%.
The DC-input DS series power modules are compact high-efficiency units with a 1U x 2U form factor.
They incorporate fan cooling and have an ambient operating temperature range of +10 to +45C, with 50% derating at +70C.
The modules comply with all applicable electromagnetic immunity standards, including EN61000-4-2, -3, -4, -5, -6 and -11.
The power supplies carry UL/cUL60950-1 and EN60950-1 VDE safety approvals.
A built-in I2C interface allows the system to interrogate the power module to ascertain various operational parameters, including input and output status, fan blocked or running under-speed, and overcurrent and overtemperature flags.
