XP Power announced the availability of the ECS100 family of single output 100W ac-dc power supplies. Fitting into a standard 1U space, this compact unit, measuring only 2 x 4 x 1.20 inches (50.8 x 101.6 x 30.5mm), offers a high power density of 10.4W per cubic inch. The units can provide 80W when convection cooled, and require only 10 CFM of forced airflow to provide the full 100W output. The ECS100 series is a highly efficient design, achieving 88% typical efficiency. Offering a no-load power consumption of less than 0.5 W, the series aids end products to comply with energy efficiency standards such as Energy Star, CEC, EISA and the European Code-of-Conduct.

The models have a wide input voltage range of 80-264Vac and are approved for Class I and Class II applications. The operating temperature range is -20to +70°C, with derating from +50deg;C. Meeting the internationally recognized safety approvals for medical devices and IT equipment makes the ECS100 family suitable for a wide range of applications such as broadcast equipment and servers for the industrial/IT market, and home healthcare appliances and drug delivery devices for the medical market. They also meet Class B conducted EMC limits without the need of additional external components.

A total of five models are available providing the nominal outputs of +12, +15, + 24, + 28 or + 48Vdc. The output voltage is user adjustable by +/-10%. A metal cover option is also available.

The power supplies are priced at $45.24 in medium volume.
