XP Power Unveils 95% Efficient 250W Convection Cooled Power Supply with 3rd Edition Medical and Industrial Approvals
XP Power announced the CCB250 series of highly efficient single output 250W ac-dc power supplies aimed at a broad range of industrial and medical applications. With an operating efficiency of up to 95%, the convection cooled CCB250 series generates very little waste heat and does not require any forced air cooling. The series achieves an absolute minimum efficiency of 90% with a 90Vac input at full load.
Meeting the stringent demands of the latest IEC60601-1 3rd edition medical safety standards, the CCB250 complies with 2 x MOPP (Means Of Patient Protection) and offers the complete risk management files, thus removing the burden and expense typically placed on the end product designer in achieving product compliance. The series also complies with the requirements of BF (body floating) applications. For IT and industrial applications the range is approved to IEC60950-1.
The series operates from an ultra wide input range of 80 – 275Vac, in an ambient of - 20 to + 70°C, with no derating until + 50°C. In addition to being able to continuously deliver the maximum output of 250W, the CCB250 has a peak power capability of up to 300W for a maximum of 500ms. This allows the delivery of a short-term higher current, such as for starting motors, without engineers needing to incur the additional costs or space required for a higher rated unit. Measuring just 4 x 6 x 1.5 inches (101.6 x 152.4 x 38.1mm), the open frame CCB250 series fits into a 1U space.
The series comprises 6 models providing the nominal outputs of +12, +15, +24, + 28, +36 or +48Vdc. A trim function provides the ability to adjust the output ±3% to accommodate line losses. An additional + 5Vdc/0.5A always on output can be used to power memory, logic or control functions. Control signals include power fail and remote on/off.
The CCB250 is priced at $175 for quantities of 500 pieces.

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.
