Aegis Power Systems, a Vicor Custom Design Center has released a new VME550 Series of rugged, reliable power supplies.
Communications and storage equipment designers remain under constant pressure to increase system performance whilst using less board area and smaller form factors. Improved power system density can make a significant contribution to this goal by freeing up board space for system-level features. Picor’s new PI3101 Cool-Power Isolated DC-DC converter offers designers an ideal solution, with a power density up to three times greater from less than half the size of conventional packages. The 60 W PI3101 has a regulated output of +3.3 V, operates from a 36 V – 75 V input voltage range...
A Cross Reference Selection Tool enables users to quantify the opportunity to increase the efficiency and power density of their IBA power system. Power designers who wish to upgrade to a high-efficiency VI BRICK Bus Converter can use the online tool to identify the most appropriate option(s). Additonally, a new IBC054 series of wide-input range VI BRICK Bus Converters have also been released. Read press release
A high power, wide input range of VI BRICK™ Bus Converter is now available as a drop-in upgrade for industry standard 5:1 converters. Operating from a 36V to 60V input voltage range at power levels of up to 750W, achieving over 98% peak efficiency . Read press release.
The Cool-Switch® PI2161 and PI2061, is the first in a new series of new electronic circuit breaker, load disconnect switch solutions. Suitable for high performance computing, telecom, and communications infrastructure applications, the products are designed with an emphasis on high performance operation, board space savings, and reduced design complexity. Read press release.
The IBC050 series of wide input range VI BRICK™ Bus Converters has been release. The new eighth and quarter bricks achieve up to 98% efficiency from a 36V to 60V input voltage range at power levels of up to 650W. Read press release
An industry-first MOSFET with “μΩ” on-state resistance is now available. Ideal for low voltage, high-current power path management applications, the new device combines the advantages of a very low on-state resistance with thermally enhanced LGA packaging. Read press release
Droop-sharing is often the easiest and most reliable method of producing a redundant bus onto a backplane of a rack-based system. The method not only eliminates the need for a complex and vulnerable communications bus between PSUs, but also allows the backplane bus voltage to be further stepped-down to lower voltages to remove the need for absolute and precise regulation. These advantages, in conjunction with Vicor VI DC-DC converters, are being used in a compact satellite up-link, capable of fitting into a 3U rack. The up-link required a distributed bus of +7.2V at 12A...
The University of York, working with Swiss technology company Strat-XX, are developing a WiMAX-HAP system. This aims to deliver WiMAX wireless broadband services via cellular networks and spot beam antennas as the payload on stratospheric High-Altitude Platforms (HAPs), such as airships or hot-air balloons, at an altitude of around 21 km above the earth. The basic concept for the system is shown below: Using one customer premises equipment (CPE) as a gateway to the wired internet, at least one other remote CPE is linked to the wider internet via the HAP payload. Other users...
