Murata Releases High Current Eighth-Brick DC-DC Converters for High Density Embedded Applications

Power Channels: Power Components

Murata Power Solutions announced the introduction of the UWE series of highly efficient 100 – 120 Watt open frame isolated DOSA-compatible eighth-brick dc-dc converters. Using the industry standard through-hole package, measuring 58.42 x 22.86 x 9.91mm (2.3 x 0.9 x 0.39 inches), the single output units offer the nominal outputs of 3.3, 5 or 12Vdc. Providing an efficiency of typically 91.5 % means that for most applications no forced airflow is required.

Suiting embedded computing applications and instrumentation subsystems, the converters accommodate an ultra-wide 4:1 input voltage range from 18 to 75Vdc around a nominal 48Vdc. Line regulation is kept within ± 0.25% Vout and load regulation is maximum ±0.2% Vout across the complete range. On-board remote sense inputs compensate for line voltage errors at high output currents. A trim function provides the ability to adjust outputs +/- 10% of nominal output voltage in order to compensate for line losses.

A remote on/off input, negative or positive, provides the ability to remotely control the converter such as required to schedule load startup. The UWE series can operate from –40 to +85°C. Input to output isolation is 2,250Vdc. Protection features include input under voltage, output short circuit, over current and over temperature. An optional baseplate is available for conduction cooled applications.

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.
