A new generation of ultra-compact high-power density AC/DC power supplies,
in the popular 2 x 4-inch footprint, have been introduced by Powersolve.
The TOP-100 series units, manufactured by TracoPower, produce up to 100W
output power over an industrial operating temperature range from –25C to
+50C with natural convection cooling. As a result, a dedicated fan in the
system can be eliminated.
This performance is achieved by a state-of-the-art circuit design achieving
a very high
EFFICIENCY of over 90%. Compared to traditional open frame
power supplies, the power loss of TOP-100 units is reduced by around 50%
giving a very positive impact on the reliability and lifetime of the
product. Currently, there are seven standard models available with output
voltages from 3.3 to 48VDC.
With safety approvals for class l and class ll operation, TOP-100 power
supplies offer an ideal solution for those space and cost critical
applications in the industrial, ITE, medical and consumer electronics
field, says the company.
