EMCO Announces New Ultra-Low Power Consumption High Voltage Power Supplies

EMCO High Voltage Corp. announced its new Ultra Low Power (ULP) Series of dc-dc converters are. Designed for the demands of portable, battery-powered applications, the ULP Series provides output voltages from 0 to 500 through 5000Vdc, while consuming less than 2 milli-watts of power. This translates to 4500 hours of operation on just two AA lithium batteries.

The output voltage is regulated, programmable, and can deliver up to 4W of power on demand at >85% efficiency. Proprietary packaging produces a miniature module just 1/2 inch (12.7mm) high and weighing less than 2 ounces (56.7 grams), ideal characteristics for hand held applications.

Designed specifically with "green" applications in mind, the ULP Series also features a shutdown pin which drops current consumption below 10µA. Standard input voltage range is 5.4 to 7.4V and models are available in positive and negative outputs. Operating temperature range is available in both -20 to +70°C and -55 to +85°C versions.

The ULP Series is available from stock and priced under $295 in single unit quantities, with quantity discounts offered.
