Digital Power Corp. Acquires AC-DC Power Supply Series IP From Telkoor Power Systems
Digital Power Corp. (DPC) has recently announced a definitive agreement to purchase the intellectual property (IP) and production packages of the compact peripheral component interface (Compact PCI, or CPCI) 600W ac-dc power supply series from Telkoor Power Systems Ltd. (TPS) of Israel, a developer and manufacturer of high-grade, high-density power supply solutions for military and commercial applications.
This purchase brings to DPC a rich portfolio of industry-leading CPCI ac-dc power supplies delivering 600W of continuous power. These hot-swappable power supplies feature N+1 redundant connection and active load current share.
Under the terms of the agreement, Digital Power Ltd. (DPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of DPC, will pay approximately $500,000 in cash for the IP and production packages of the complete CPCI 600W ac-dc power supply series. This IP acquisition supports a higher power of broad range of CPCI military rugged products designed to operate in harsh environments. Specific product modifications will be also available to support exclusive customer requirements.
"The addition of this product line offers DPC and DPL a unique opportunity to expand our presence in telecom, broadcast and advanced multimedia applications that require increasing amounts of power," said Amos Kohn, President and CEO of DPC. "Until now, such applications have needed multiple power supplies connected in parallel. By delivering 600 watts in a standard CPCI package, users can free up more rack space for revenue-earning electronics."

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
