Ultra Wide 8:1 Input DC-DC Converter for Railway Applications
Murata launched the UCR100 series of DC-DC converters from Murata Power Solutions designed specifically for railway power conversion and battery applications. Accommodating an ultra wide 8:1 input range, from 16.8 to 137.5 VDC, the UCR100 series comprises 3 single output models providing 5, 12, or 24 VDC outputs. Additional model-specific options include current share, holdup and an adjustable undervoltage lockout feature.
Packaged in a Euro Cassette format measuring 3U x 4TE x 165 mm, the UCR100 series is footprint and pin compatible with competitive product offerings. The UCR units offer customers ease of installation and better energy efficiency ratings than comparable models. Typically a single UCR module can take the place of up to 5 alternative modules currently used in customers' existing applications. The series also can improve overall system reliability through use of the input hold up option that requires just a single capacitor to provide up to 10 ms holdup.
These highly efficient units, typically up to 90%, create less heat than other power supplies and ensuring no extra forced air cooling is required. They are packaged in a ruggedized enclosure and conformally coated in order to achieve high standards of reliability and resistance to the effects of moisture. Mounting methods can be in a 19" rack or bolted to a bulkhead. The UCR100 series provides tight line and load regulation together with control features such as remote On/Off, a +/- 10% output trim and a remote sense of +/- 10%.

The active current share option allows multiple UCR converters to connect in parallel to support higher output currents or to achieve higher system reliability through redundancy.
The UCR100 series conforms to all relevant transportation industry safety standards including EN50155, EN50116, IEC60571, RIA12 and IEC/EN/UL60950-1.

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.
