Bellnix Introduces Low Power Loss ORing Diode Module

Power Channels: Power Components

Bellnix America, Inc. introduced its new low power loss ORing diode module that eliminates the need for a schottky diode.

An ORing device is a diode that protects the system against an input power source fault condition when two or more power sources are driving a load. However, the primary downside is the increased power dissipation loss in the diodes as power requirements for systems increase in high current applications.

To help mitigate the increased power dissipation loss Bellnix has developed what it describes as a unique ORing diode module with very little forward voltage drop. The new BID Series shows a 12x reduction in power loss versus diodes. In addition to a power loss improvement, the new BID Series reduces a thermal management overhead for current systems, resulting in reduced power consumption.

The devices also feature a fast recovery time of 100ns; 2 circuits in 1 package; with no heat sink required; an operating temperature range of -40 – +85°C; and are RoHS compliant.

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.
