Excelsys Offers User Configurable Slim-line 1U Plug & Play Power Supply

June 19, 2007 by Jeff Shepard

Excelsys Technologies has released the compact, high power density Xlite series. These 600W end user configurable units offer up 8 isolated outputs in a slim-line package of just 1U (1.6") x 10.25" x 3.5", yielding a power density of 10.5W per cubic inch. The Xlite series is said to allow end users to configure an application specific power supply in less than 5 minutes.

Three different powerPac chassis are available, providing system power levels of 200, 400 and 600W. These may be populated with any combination of 4 different powerMods output modules from a range of 7 different types offering nominal outputs from 2.5 to 48Vdc. All output modules may be user adjusted over a wide range to meet end system requirements.

All Xlite power supplies are safety agency approved to UL60950 and EN60950, are CE marked and meet international EMC requirements. Other system friendly standard features include LED status indicators and control signals and an independent 5Vdc "bias" voltage. All outputs are isolated allowing individual powerMods output modules and additional Xlite power supplies to be connected in series or parallel for higher voltages or output power.

The Excelsys Xlite will operate at full load up to 50°C, has a universal input voltage range of 85-264Vac, over voltage and over temperature protection. A combination of low loss technologies, a low number of long-life electrolytic capacitors, field-proven planar magnetics and a high degree of surface mount assembly is said by the company to ensure ultra-high efficiency and reduce system thermal load by more than 50% over conventional designs enhancing reliability.

Customers may specify the exact Xlite power supply they require by using the online configurator and use the automatically generated unique part number to place orders for evaluation samples. Typical applications include, industrial equipment, test and measurement systems, automation and robotics, printing, telecom and datacom OEMs.
