N2Power Releases New Compact AC-DC Power Supply Family
N2Power, a Qualstar Corp. company, announced the first models of the XL375 series, a family of very compact, 375W ac-dc switching power supplies. Seven models deliver output voltages from 12 to 56V, and up to four units can be wire-ORed together to increase the total main output power up to 1,400W.
Leveraging N2Power’s "green" packaging technology, the XL375 series supplies deliver more power in less space, while reducing wasted input power and lowering cooling requirements. N2Power’s patented design leaves the heat in the load, not in the power supply, reducing power consumption, improving reliability and lowering the cost of ownership.
The XL375 family is designed for OEM applications such as industrial automation, telecommunications, gaming systems, security and surveillance systems, and network servers. The XL375 series delivers 375W of output power from just 16.5 square inches of system design real estate. Very low profile packaging yields more than 15W per cubic inch power density in less than 1U, making the system designer’s job much easier.
"The XL375 series delivers greater efficiency and packs more power in a smaller package than any other product on the market. This gives our OEM customers a distinct packaging benefit, while also reducing overall power consumption and cooling requirements," said Randy Johnson, N2Power Business Unit Manager. "Our unique technology gives OEM engineers new flexibility in power system design that pays real competitive dividends in their final products."
The XL375 series incorporates the same features as the XL125, XL160 and XL275 power supply families, including active power factor correction for reduced input power, active inrush current protection, active current sharing circuitry and remote on-off. Notably, the XL375 series allows both 5V standby and 12V auxiliary outputs to be wired Or-able when the main output is disabled. Finally, synchronous rectification delivers exceptionally high efficiency: up to 93% in some models.
N2Power supplies meet a full range of international agency requirements, including RoHS, UL, DEMKO, CE Mark and FCC Class B.
