Powerstax Launch New 500W High Voltage Brick
Powerstax has launched its latest power converter. The F501-385 500W output full brick high voltage dc-dc converter complements the Powerstax line- up of patented power converters allowing customers to configure compact, high power density, base plate cooled ac-dc power systems suitable for rugged environments. The wide range of field proven power converters manufactured by Powerstax offers customers a low NRE, rapid time to market power system development route.
The new Powerstax F501-385 dc-dc converter operates over the input range 355-400Vdc and provides 24, 28, 48, 56Vdc output and 500W power. By combining a number of F501-385 bricks in series significantly higher output voltages can be produced and if up to twenty F501-385 bricks are paralleled a 10kW system can be produced.
With a power density of 5.53W/cm3, typical efficiency of 90%, active load sharing, remote on/off, base plate cooling, low start-up temperature of -40°C, the company says that its F501-385 offers users reduced energy costs, greater return on investment, greater reliability and longer product life.
The Powerstax F501-385 provides system designers with a comprehensive list of in-built protection functions such as over-voltage protection, under-voltage protection and short-circuit protection are complemented by unique features such as a thermal monitoring signal to provide early warning of potential system faults.
The Powerstax F501-385 is designed to operate as an integral part of a complete distributed power system, with or without hold-up. Typical applications for the F501-385 include military and commercial based wireless systems, radar and communication systems, telecom infrastructure and security systems.
Opinion: Unraveling the Ultra-Low Power Design Issues
Rob Hill, Director of Sales - EMEA for Powerstax, comments: "We are very pleased to be supporting a major electronics exhibition in the UK and have chosen to use it as the venue to make a significant new product introduction. Our sales in Europe continue to grow as customers become more aware of the benefits of our rugged, reliable power conversion products and the engineering excellence we put at their disposal."

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.
