Powerstax Ultra-Low Noise Power Supplies Suit Medical and Broadcast Applications
New additions to the Powerstax Multistax and Medistax low profile configurable power supply ranges offer low acoustic noise power solutions for audio, broadcast, office and home applications and patient monitoring and medical equipment where ambient noise is required to be kept to a minimum. Both new low-noise ranges have a standard noise output of 42.7dBA with an additional ultra-quiet version measured at just 38.3dBA being available, providing 800W maximum output.
These new high efficiency power supplies carry full safety agency approvals including UL and EN60950 and EN60601-1 3rd Edition and meet EMI limits, including FCC Class B and EN55022 Class B as well as all relevant Immunity limits.
Powerstax Multistax and Medistax low-noise power supplies can provide up to 1200W in an extremely compact 1U x 260mm x 127mm package, while offering industry leading power density of 15W/in³ and efficiencies of up to 90%. Designed around an innovative plug and play architecture users can configure a custom power solution in less than 5 minutes. The Medistax family offers 4000VAC isolation with less than 300µA leakage current and a 150µA option is available.

Standard output voltages from 1.5 to 24VDC are available and all output modules are isolated allowing them to be combined in series or parallel for non-standard output voltages or higher current requirements.
For higher power requirements the Powerstax A3600, based on the Multistax low-noise platform, can provide single and very flexible multiple output solutions up to 3600 watts of output power in a 1U high and 350mm deep 19" rack mount package.
Opinion: Maximising Synergies between Power Electronics and ICT for improving Energy Efficiency
Rob Hill, Director of Sales - EMEA for Powerstax, comments: "These latest additions to our Multistax and Medistax product ranges offer system designers low-noise, simple to integrate, very flexible, high efficiency and high reliability power solutions."

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.
