PowerPax Launches Range Of Ultra Miniature PCB Mounting Switch Mode Power Supplies


New Products May 03, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

PowerPax UK Ltd. announced the launch of the Bias power range of ultra-miniature, PCB mounting switch mode power supplies.The BPS product series is available in output powers of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0W.

The Bias Power BPS series is based on a patented circuit design that effectively eliminates line EMI so that no input filtering is required. This is achieved by isolating the input path for the duration of the conducted noise. The circuit design ensures that conversion efficiency is maximized and effectively regulates output voltages evenly over the entire 85 to 265Vac input range.

Single outputs of 8 & 14Vdc and dual outputs of 8 & 5Vdc are available. The range features efficiencies of up to 75%, an operating temperature range of -25 to +70°C (-40 to +85°C optional), full short circuit protection and input to output isolation of 3KVac. This series offers an extremely small footprint of 22.73 x 26.29 x 13.56mm (8cm³) in a rugged tamper-proof sealed package ensuring that PCB real estate usage is maximized.

These products are UL, cUL and CE approved and comply to the RoHS directive. The BPS series meets EMC requirements without the need for additional components and its low emissions characteristics make it particularly suitable for ZigBee IEEE (802.15.4), Z-wave, Bluetooth GSM, GPRS and other emissions critical applications.

This range is also suitable for other demanding applications such as the charging of super capacitors, security systems, standby power and lighting occupancy sensors.
