New 30W Adapter Provides 19V to Power Netbook Computers

Phihong has developed a compact 30W adapter designed to power netbook computers. Designated the PSA30W-190A, Phihong's smallest 30W, Level V efficient adapter produces an output of 19V and 1.6-1.8A, which is ideal for powering portable computers.

"The personal computing market is shifting towards slim, lightweight, highly portable, and more business-focused ultrabooks that are designed to reduce overall bulk in briefcases and travel bags. Consequently, their power adapters must follow suit," said Keith Hopwood, vice president of marketing for Phihong USA. "The batteries in these new, slim-line computers are more efficient than those in traditional notebook computers and require much less overall power."

The PSA30W is the smallest 30W adapter manufactured by Phihong, and the 19VDC output makes it ideal for efficiently charging a netbook's lithium-ion battery pack. Standard features include over-current, over-voltage, and short-circuit protections, and a no-load power draw of less than 0.2W. The PSA30W meets all of the requirements for Level V efficiency markings, as well as bears safety approvals from TUV, CE, and cUL/UL. The unit measures 80mm x 35mm x 24mm and weighs approximately 110 grams. The 1.5-meter DC cord is terminated with a 2.5mm x 5.5mm x 9.5mm center positive barrel. Additionally, Phihong offers an in-house service for changing DC tips with no minimum order quantity required. Pricing for the PSA30W-190A starts at $27.11 in single unit quantities.

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.
