October 08, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

Astec Power (Carlsbad, CA) announced the addition of the LPS170 family to its low-power switching supply line. With an output voltage that can be user-adjusted over a two-to-one range, the four models of the LPS170 family provide from 2.5V to 54V of low output ripple, tightly regulated, dc power. The LPS170s are suitable for 1U (1.75in) rack installations and telecom, networking hubs and routers, test and measurement equipment, single-board computers, and gigabit Ethernet device applications.

The LPS170 power supplies feature active power-factor correction, a wide universal input-voltage range of 85Vac to 264Vac and 120Vdc to 370Vdc, a frequency range of 47Hz to 400Hz, a height of 1.5in, a 2A/+5V standby output, a 1A/+12V auxiliary output, single-wire current sharing, status signal lines, remote output-voltage sensing, over-current protection, over-voltage and over-temperature protection, an ambient temperature range of 0 to 50 degrees C, and 550,000 hours of demonstrated mean time between failures at 25 degrees C.

The LPS170 devices comply with major worldwide safety and performance standards and have UL, CSA, CE, CB, NEMKO and VDE approval markings. Designed to meet FCC and CISPR22 Level B conducted emissions, the LPS170’s built-in Class B EMI filter also meets most industry-standard noise and immunity requirements.

Available now, OEM pricing starts at $145 each.
