Micro Power Announces Integrated Power Supply Capabilities
Micro Power Electronics announced support for custom, integrated ac-dc and dc-dc power supplies. To complement its line of SelfCHARGE battery chargers and docking stations, Micro Power offers ac-dc and dc-dc power supplies integrated directly onto circuit board subassemblies resident within a battery charger, docking cradle or other portable product power accessory. The integration of a system’s primary power converter can reduce recurring product cost, improve reliability, help clear compliance hurdles and optimize power consumption and efficiency.
Micro Power’s range of design and manufacturing expertise includes low and medium power solutions from five to 500W, single and multiple constant voltage power outputs, high efficiency switching topologies, harmonic power factor correction for ac-powered devices above 60W and commercial and medical regulatory compliance.
Micro Power released several custom battery chargers and docking stations with integrated power supplies for various applications including military radios, medical products, rugged notebook computers and bar code scanners.
"Integrated bulk power conversion is a natural extension of our battery charger and portable product accessories," said Bob Staub, Business Manager for SelfCHARGE products at Micro Power. "Our OEM customers seek the optimal blend of product features, power efficiency and regulatory compliance, and we’ve demonstrated that Micro Power can fill these requirements with our domestic and Asian manufacturing facilities."

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.
