Calex Introduces Wide Input 75W Digital DC-DC Converter
Calex Mfg. Co., Inc. announced the 75W 1/8 brick WDE series. The WDE series features an ultra wide 4:1 input range, 9-36 and 18-75Vdc. With the initial release of the series, the output voltages available are 24, 28 and 48Vdc. The 3.3 to 15Vout models will be released later this year. All models are fully isolated input to output and housed in an encapsulated, five sided shielded enclosure. Case dimensions are 2.5 x 1.1 x 0.55".
The WDE series offers remote sense, trim and analog ON/OFF. No minimum load is required. Efficiency is 90% typical. Line and load regulation is 0.2% typical. Output voltage setpoint accuracy is 0.2%. Output noise is typically 1% of Vout. The switching frequency of the WDE Series is 275 kHz. All models are available with RoHS or non-RoHS construction.
In line with today’s sophisticated power requirements, the WDE Series offers digital capability to allow the designer in optimize system performance, track and log converter performance and enhance overall system performance and functionality with digital power management capability. Communication and control of the WDE converter is achieved via a PMBus serial interface. Demo boards for each model are available from Calex. The WDE digital features include a variety of functions which can be managed through a user friendly GUI interface including:
-- Precision adjustable over-temperature protection
-- Configurable input under and over voltage protection
Opinion: Unraveling the Ultra-Low Power Design Issues
-- Configurable current-limit inception and shut-down delay
-- Logging of historical fault events in non-volatile memory
-- Precision (±0.2%) ouptut voltage accuracy and trim
-- Configurable output overvoltage protection
-- Monitoring of Vin, Vout, Iin and temperature
-- Digital dynamic adjustment of Vout
-- Digital warning thesholds for faults, to avert shutdown
The WDE converter and demo board is available from stock to 8 weeks.

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.
