PMBus Sponsors Darnell's Power China
Darnell Group Inc. has announced that PMBus™ is sponsoring the first-annual Darnell’s Power China (DPC ’12), to be hosted in Shanghai, May 15-16. DPC ’12 is an international event that focuses on “Solutions for Next-Generation Power Designs.” PMBus is the longest-continuous sponsor for Darnell’s Power Forum, hosted annually in Silicon Valley, California, and now PMBus is actively supporting the inaugural edition of Darnell’s Power China. Digital Power and Advanced Components are common threads in most areas of advanced power conversion and will be a key focus of Darnell’s Power China. DPC ’12 is broadly focused on power management, energy efficiency, advanced components, energy storage, smart grid innovations and more.

“PMBus has been involved with DPC’s sister event, Darnell’s Power Forum since it began 9 years ago. One of the first organizational meetings for the PMBus Organization took place at the inaugural DPF in 2004 and we have worked closely together ever since,” stated Jeff Shepard, President of Darnell Group. “Working with PMBus will enable DPC to give delegates access to the latest practical developments in next-generation power conversion technologies,” Shepard concluded.
Darnell’s Power China will feature several primary areas of focus: Advanced Components, Digital Power, Energy Harvesting, High-Efficiency Power Conversion, Developments in PwrSiP/PwrSoC Technologies and Innovations for the Smart Grid. Within each of these broad areas will be multiple topics and application areas. A call for papers has been issued for:

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.
