Lambda Announces the Vega Series of Switch-Mode Power Supplies
Lambda (San Diego, CA) announced the new Vega Series. Designed as a standard configurable product, these switch-mode power supplies use a single PCB design in both the front end converter and output module stages. Initially offered in two packages of 450W and 650W, Lambda can meet turnaround times of two weeks for evaluation units and six weeks for production volumes.
The Vega Series provides a seamless output voltage range from 1.8V to 31V, with higher voltages possible by series operation. The 450W and 650W packages provide a maximum of 10 outputs with no minimum load requirements and offer over-voltage and over-current protection as standard features.
Options of the 450W and 650W Vega Series units include fast on-tab/screw input or output connectors, IEC input connectors and multiple cooling options including system air, end fan and end fan with reverse airflow. Standard signal options include mains fail, global inhibit, output good and output inhibit. The Vega Series is compliant to EN61000-3-2 power factor correction standards, IEC1000-4 input transient immunity standards and meets EMI level B conducted, and level A radiated standards. The series also has CE Marking, UL 1950, CSA234 and EN60950 worldwide safety agency approvals.
“Developed by a combined team of engineers from the UK, the US and Japan, the Vega is an example of Lambda’s global design capability. Utilizing a global team of engineers enabled Lambda to quickly address new trends in the market such as high current, low-voltage system architectures in just 12 months from conception to production. The goal was to produce a compact, powerful power supply that resulted in Vega's superior density of 5.8W/cubic-inch for the system air package,” said Dorrel Vernon, Lambda product manager. “With the Vega Series’ versatility, we can address thousands of multiple output configurations without the incurred NRE cost and long development time typically encountered with custom designs.”
The Vega Series is priced at approximately $0.80/W when purchased in OEM quantities.
