1600W Power Supply Features 92% Efficiency with Digital Controls
TDK Corporation announces the new TDK-Lambda RFE1600 Series; a 1600W single-output ac-dc power supply in a low-profile package (less than 1U high) for stand-alone or distributed power architectures (DPA). These supplies are designed for applications requiring reliable 12V, 24V or 48Vdc bulk power. The output voltage is user adjustable enabling the RFE1600 to be used in a variety of customized applications.

Operating efficiencies of up to 92% minimizes wasted heat dissipation and system cooling issues. Featuring a universal input of 85 to 265VAC with PFC, typical applications for the RFE1600 supplies include communications, factory automation, test/measurement, robotics and broadcast/RF amplifiers. Models with a “/S” suffix include the optional I2C/PMBus serial communications port for remote control and monitoring.
These supplies can be used individually or up to 10 units can be connected in parallel for high power or N+1 redundant power systems, facilitated via built-in ORing FETs and active current share ports. Each power supply has two variable-speed cooling fans and the supplies can operate in temperatures ranging from -10 to +70°C. The RFE1600 has a high power density of 23.5W/in3 with dimensions of 12.6 x 3.35 x 1.61 inches.

Over-voltage, over-current and over-temperature protection are standard features, and for system monitoring there are opto-isolated signals for DC-OK and AC-fail, along with a LED indicators for DC-OK or Fail conditions. Remote On/Off control is standard as is an auxiliary 12V/0.5A output.
As well as being EN55022 and FCC EMC compliant (achieving class B conducted, and Class A radiated emissions), the RFE1600 series are certified to UL/EN 60950-1, 2nd Edition, safety requirements and carries the CE Mark. Harmonic correction meets the EN61000-3-2 standard and the power supplies are backed by a three-year (3 yr) factory warranty.

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.
