Gaia Simplifies Avionic AC-DC Power Supply Design with PFC Front-Ends
Gaia Converter has extended its HGMM ac-dc front-end module offering with the 150W half-brick. For all power needs from 35 to 350W or more, Gaia Converter's 35W, 150W & 350W power factor correction (PFC) modules comply with the latest standards DO-160E, ABD100, AMD-24, and MIL-STD-704F.
This HGMM series offers a solution to comply with DO-160 & ABD100 Individual Current Harmonic (ICH) requirements in this power range. All 3 modules are available for 115Vac single phase and 360-800Hz wide frequency range with efficiencies as high as 93%. Input ranges of 47-440 Hz and universal 85-265 Vac / 45-65 Hz are also available.
The HGMM 35W front-end has 1500V isolation and 2 independent 17V outputs for compact low power designs in a standard 2"x3" package. The HGMM Series of 150W and 350W front-ends are non-isolated half-bricks delivering a 375V output designed to be paired with isolated dc-dc modules such as the Gaia Converter high-voltage series (MGDS 75, 150 or 175W).

Additional key features include active inrush current limitation, output over load protection, short circuit protection, and an inhibit function. HGMS-150 and 350 models also provide a drive signal to control additional dc-dc modules, and a 7.5Vdc reference.

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.
