| Traco Power Releases Open Frame 180W Power Supply Focusing on Medical Applications | Traco Power launches the TPI 180 and TPP 180 series power supplies specifically aimed at the industrial and medical sectors. The units come in an open-frame or encased and are suitable for floating body applications. The leakage current is below 300µA and the power supplies can deliver 150W with convection cooling and 180W with forced air cooling. | |
| XP Power Launches A Wide 85-305 VAC Power Supply Meant For Embedded Projects | XP Power LCW series power supplies were developed especially for the embedded electronics sector, and the smart home appliance industry. With a wide range of 85-305VAC input AC-DC and offering from 15W to 320W the series is lined up to be decisive in the embedded applications space. | |
| VoxPower New VCCM600 Series Power Supply Can be Cooled Three Ways | VoxPower announces the world’s first conduction cooled configurable power supply units, which are also modular. The two models are built to be silent and used in controlled environments when audible noise is a concern. The package is 4 DC output modules with configurable up to 150 Watts each. Peak power is 750 Watts for 5s | |
Editor's Desk by Stephen Vicinanza | Analog and Power Go Modular Hello Circuit Cellar fans, there is some motion in the world of analog and power devices this year. With the main players going modular there is a depth of purpose not seen before, as more power supply manufactures turn to converters in stepping down voltage across larger devices and embedded technologies. | |
| In the world of communications, especially in life-saving air-base drones, there is a new push for larger, more lightweight disaster relief drones, with better more efficient modular DC-DC converters. The use of up to 9kW of power is now becoming common, with ground power supplies tethered to the drone and modular DC-DC converters reducing weight, and taking up less overall space The resulting design improvements have allowed for better communications equipment to be added to the drones, including more higher resolution cameras and audio recording equipment. The calculating of location from the air is served with more topographical equipment with higher sensitivity. The list goes on. . | |
In the EV sector modular DC-DC converters and BCM (bus control module) converters are taking high voltage from electric engines and stepping down to low voltage complex and fragile system controls and equipment in electric airplanes. The work is groundbreaking and very exciting. The modular design, and high 94% efficiency, with the added higher safety compliance is seeing its way to home automation, on the roads, and in the skies. | |
Jetson powered edge AI system has eight PoE ports Aaeon has revealed one of its fanless Boxer computers powered by a Jetson Xavier NX module and featuring 8x Power-over-Ethernet GbE ports for powering cameras and other devices plus 2x standard GbE ports. The sports eight PoE ports, two GbE, four USB, HDMI 2.0, CAN, COM, SATA, DIO, and mini-PCIe and M.2 E Key. Also in this day's update is Eric Brown's last post for LinuxGizmos and his take on where LinuxGizoms and the world and work of Linux in embedded electronics and beyond are headed. | | |
