CUI Announces Advanced Power Topology License Agreement with California Power Research
CUI, Inc., a subsidiary of Waytronx, Inc., has entered into an exclusive Field of Use Agreement with California Power Research Inc. to license their BPS-5 advanced power topology. BPS-5 provides advantages across a wide range of ac-dc and dc-dc power conversion applications through a significant reduction in switching losses within PWM circuits.
According to CUI, this switching loss reduction translates to a potential for improved energy efficiency, faster transient response and increased power density when compared to the leading designs currently on the market.
"We are pleased to license our BPS-5 technology to CUI, Inc.," said Fred Barthold, Vice President of Engineering at California Power Research. "We feel this technology aligns well with CUI’s recent entrance into the digital power market and their commitment to bringing advanced power solutions to their expanding customer base," explained Barthold.

Through its power product line, V-Infinity, CUI manufactures a range of embedded and external power electronics devices for OEM manufacturers.
Waytronx’s President & CEO, William Clough, said, "We are very excited to partner with California Power Research to incorporate their BPS-5 technology into our line of products. Our team has developed a road map based on this technology that we feel will take full advantage of its benefits. This partnership continues our mission to bring the latest advances in power technology to market. This relationship continues to demonstrate our commitment to partner with ’best-of-breed,’ world-class companies in order to acquire, develop, and commercialize leading-edge technology."

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.
