June 12, 2007 by Jeff Shepard

Digital Power announced the release of its HD160 series of high-density ac-dc switch-mode power supplies that deliver up to 160W, which the company claims is approximately twice the power currently available in the industry standard 2 x 4" footprint. These supplies are well suited for low profile/1U High applications with a height of only 1.06 inches.

The HD160 series utilizes the latest technologies and advanced switching topologies to deliver operational efficiencies up to 90% with a power density exceeding 18W/in3. These single-output power supplies offer standard output voltage set points of 5/12/24/48 Vdc. These supplies feature: universal ac input (85 to 264Vac), active power factor correction (EN61000-3-2 Class D Compliant), protection against over-temperature, over-current and over-voltage conditions. The devices have safety approvals for: Information Technology Equipment (ITE), (UL/cUL60950-1/EN60950-1), Medical (UL/cUL 60601-1/EN60601-1), bear the CE Mark (LVD), and conform to FCC/EN55022 Level B Emission Standards. The HD160 Series is said to offer reliable performance, high MTBF and is ROHS compliant. This series is suitable for a wide range of applications which include: front-ends for Distributed Power Architecture (DPA or IBA) in telecom, industrial, military COTS, medical and scientific instrumentation.

"We are excited to deliver the highest power conversion density in one of the smallest footprints in the industry which will ultimately enhance the value of our customer’s systems by reducing the real estate required for power conversion." says Jonathan Wax, President and CEO of Digital Power.
