Efficient Power Modules for High-Efficiency Power Supplies

March 27, 2017 by Power Pulse1595211359

Telcodium today announced the availability of its new High Efficiency Modules (HEMs), a flexible, complete power supply solution that enables design engineers the ability to create high performance, high efficiency systems in record time. The first public introduction of the HEMs will be at APEC 2017, the Applied Power Electronics Conference, in booth #824.

Telcodium’s HEMs deliver an efficiency of more than 95 percent, by reducing energy consumption and by addressing many of the heat dissipation problems common with today’s technologies. Now, with Telcodium HEMs, engineers can go from concept to production-ready design in as little as five days.

Telcodium’s High Efficiency Module product line includes: Ideal Diode Bridge Rectifier Module - which converts ac to full-wave dc voltage; Power Factor Correction (PFC) Module – with power capacity up to 500W, an output of 390Vdc and with greater than 98 percent efficiency; Several LLC Modules - which feature a primary input of 390Vdc and a choice of secondary outputs of 12 or 48 Volts, with an efficiency rating greater than 97%; CPU Module – with universal controller and monitor for all Telcodium HEMs; High-efficiency Carrier Board - which allows engineers to test all of the modules for a Universal AC, 500W, 12Vdc output power supply; The reference designs and documentation – for building 500-Watt power supplies.

The Telcodium HEMs can be used to create power supplies with efficiency ratings exceeding 95 percent for the complete power chain, from 85- to 265-Vac inputs to 12Vdc outputs. Telcodium modules deliver the efficiency required by modern electronics designs, and the unprecedented efficiency of the Telcodium HEMs makes them a perfect fit for fan-less or convection cooling applications.

“The Telcodium High Efficiency Modules are game changers – they give hardware designers the ability to design systems knowing they will achieve maximum energy efficiency in the absolute minimum time possible,” said Gaetan Campeau, president of Telcodium. “The versatility of the Telcodium High-Efficiency Modules offers a complete solution for the power electronics designer.”

In addition to exhibiting at APEC , Telcodium and partner Transphorm will also discuss features and capabilities of the new HEMs in an exhibitor session. This session, entitled “How to Design with GaN in an Hour” is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, March 29th, at 10:30 AM in Room 21.
