Baseplate-Cooled Power Supplies from CUI Deliver 355W at 93.5% Efficiency
CUI Inc. has added a family of compact ac-dc power supplies featuring baseplate-cooling. The VBM-360 series offers a power density of 14.8 W/in3, providing 355W in an industry-standard footprint. The space-saving power supplies are housed in two optional case styles: a compact open frame version measuring 5 x 3 x 1.6 inches (127.00 x 76.00 x 40.60 mm) and an enclosed version.

Featuring typical efficiency above 93%, the power supplies are designed for applications where forced-air cooling is not preferred due to audible noise or space limitations. The VBM series is also suited for sealed-box applications where heat must be conducted through the chassis, a common requirement in commercial and industrial equipment that’s designed for outdoor and harsh environments.
CUI’s VBM-360 power supplies have a universal 90-264 Vac input for global operation and are available with single outputs of 12-, 24- and 48-Vdc. Utilizing conduction-cooling via an integrated baseplate, open frame models are rated for operation at 80% from -20°C to 40°C ambient, derating to 40% load at 70°C, while enclosed versions are rated for operation at 100% load from -20°C to 40°C, also derating to 40% load at 70°C. For applications that can incorporate air flow of 10 CFM, the open frame units will operate at 100% load from -20°C to 50°C, while enclosed versions will operate at 100% load from -20°C to 60°C.

The VBM-360 series features include active power factor correction (PFC) and protections for over voltage, over current, short circuit, and over temperature. Connections for remote on/off control, remote sense, 5-V standby, and a 12-V fan output are also included. All models carry UL/cUL and TUV 60950-1 safety certifications for ITE, commercial and industrial equipment, and are compliant with the EN 55022 Class B EMI standard.
These power supplies are priced at $183.00 each in quantities of 100 units.

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.
