XP Power Launches Smallest 5 & 10 Watt AC-DC Power Supplies

XP Power announced the launch of what are believed to be the world's smallest 5 & 10 Watt single output AC-DC power supplies. Measuring just 1 x 1 x 0.6 inches, (25.4 x 25.4 x 15.24 mm) the miniature 5 Watt ECE05 series of encapsulated board mount power supplies are ideal for end-product designs where the available board space is at a premium and a low power high power density supply is required. Complementing the ECE05 series, the ECE10 series provides 10 Watt output from an equally compact encapsulated package measuring just 1.5 x 1 x 0.6 inches (38.1 x 25.4 x 15.24 mm).

Both series comprise seven models covering the popular nominal output voltages from + 3.3 to + 48 VDC, all from a wide universal input of 85-264 VAC with Class II construction, meaning no earth or ground connection is required. All models meet the internationally recognized no-load power consumption limit of less than 0.3 Watt and average efficiency limits ensuring end-products can comply with world-wide energy efficiency standards.

A peak load capability permits an output of up to 130% of nominal output power to cater for short-term high power loads without the need to specify a higher rated power module, saving both board space and additional cost.

The ECE05/10 modules are convection cooled and operate without the need for additional heat sinking or forced airflow. Operating temperature is across the range of - 25 to + 70 degrees C, with no derating until + 50 degrees C.

The units meet international IT safety standards EN60950-1, UL609501-1 and CSA22.2 No. 234. They also comply with EN55022 level B limits for conducted and radiated EMC without the need for any additional filtering components.

The ECE05 is priced at $14.82 and the ECE10 is $21.06 for 500 pcs orders.

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.
