Behlman Delivers 1000 Watts DC in High-density 6U, VPX-Compliant VPXtra 1000CD
Behlman Electronics Inc. has developed a new engineering standard that raises the bar on VPX products and systems design, by delivering an unprecedented 1000 Watts DC in the high-density 6U, VPX compliant Behlman VPXtra 1000CD. This is a rugged, highly reliable switch-mode unit ideal for high-end industrial applications, as well as for mission-critical military airborne,shipboard, vehicle, and mobile applications.

Behlman's engineering breakthrough - Xtra-Cooling technology - has been achieved by a unique card-edge conduction cooling paradigm that enables the dual output VPXtra 1000CD to deliver up to 1000 Watts of clean, regulated 12 VDC power and 3.3 VDC auxiliary power with a typical efficiency of 90%, from wide-range 28 VDC input. VPXtra 1000CD is OpenVPX Vita 62 compliant, and designed to power OpenVPX modules. Standard features include overvoltage; short circuit and thermal protection, with no minimum load requirement; and the 12 VDC output can be paralleled for higher power and fail-safe redundancy. Complete specifications and data sheets for VPXtra 1000CD Power Supplies are available immediately.
Also incorporating Behlman's Xtra-Reliable design and Xtra-Rugged construction, VPXtra 1000CD power supplies are designed and manufactured to meet MIL-STD-810 for shock, vibration, and humidity, and MIL-STD-461 for EMI.

According to Behlman President, Ron Storm, "Achieving adequate cooling in such a high density package was a daunting task, but it had to be done in order to enable higher power VPX applications. It is a testimony to Behlman's design engineering team that we have been able to use our trademarked Xtra-Cooling technology to break through the power ceiling. This sets new higher power standards that can be employed by everyone designing and manufacturing VPX-compliant products and systems."
Delivery is approximately 12 weeks after order and prices range from $5,495 to $4,945, depending on 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.
