XP Power Announces Industrial Supplies for Battery-backed Applications
XP Power announced the BCS series of industrial supplies aimed at a broad range of applications that use battery backup to maintain equipment operation during a mains failure. The series offers 75, 100 or 155W versions and are available with either 13.8 or 27.6Vdc for + 12 or + 24Vdc nominal outputs. The units provide a constant voltage source to power the load. A separate constant voltage/constant current output charges the standby battery. An optional third + 5Vdc/3A regulated output is available across the range to supply logic, fans or additional control functions.

In the event of a power loss on the ac input, the battery charging output switches to an input from the battery source providing a power source to the load. Protection features of the BCS series include battery overload, reverse polarity, output overvoltage, and output short circuit that prevents damage to the load, the external batteries and the power supply itself. Control signals provide low battery voltage disconnect, battery low warning and AC OK.
The BCS75 (75 W), BCS100 (100 W) and BCS155 (155 W) models are enclosed metal cased units and can deliver the full load from - 20 to + 50°C without derating or +70°C with derating. The 75 and 100W ranges are also available in an optional open-frame format.

Accommodating the full 90 - 264Vac universal input range, the BCS series is suitable for worldwide use and carries EN/UL60950 approval for IT and industrial equipment.
The BCS series is priced from $27.30 for 500 pcs.

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.
