- Introducing the CUS200LD AC-DC power supply with a height of just 31mm
Designed for light industrial, LED signage, broadcast, professional audio, IT and test & measurement equipment, the CUS200LD can deliver up to 120W convection, 150W conduction cooled and…
- How to use the GENESYS+™ programmable signals
The GENESYS+™ series of programmable power supplies includes two independent auxiliary “open drain” signals that can be programmed by the user to operate external devices. Accessible from…
- How the intelligent GENESYS+™ design reduces lead-times
The GENESYS+™ series is TDK-Lambda’s latest portfolio of 5kW 1U high programmable power supplies. Initially launched with ten output voltage and current base models from 0 –…
- How is the US 277Vac input voltage derived and why is it used?
The most commonly used voltage in the US is 115/120Vac to supply households and commercial facilities. For residential properties two-phase 208Vac (phase to phase) or 240Vac (via…
- Replacing an isolated 1/16th or 1/32nd footprint DC-DC converter with the i6A and i3A non-isolated converters
Some Distributed Power Architectures (DPAs) utilise 1/16th and 1/32nd “brick” package isolated DC DC converters to step down a 24V or 48V DC source to produce 3.3V,…
- What advantages do i6A 250W non-isolated DC-DC converters offer over isolated modules?
The non-isolated i6A DC-DC converters offer power levels of up to 250W. Traditional isolated converters require a transformer and associated circuitry. As the i6A modules use a…
- What headroom do i6A 250W non-isolated DC-DC converters require?
As the i6A series utilises a step-down topology to maximise efficiency, it needs to have the input voltage higher than the output voltage – this is often…
- Can I create a multiple output power supply using i6A 250W non-isolated DC-DC converters?
David Buck, Market Development Manager at TDK-Lambda EMEA explains how an unlimited number of individually regulated adjustable outputs can be generated from a standard 12, 24, 36…
- How to use the i6A evaluation boards
There are four different evaluation boards available for the i6A series DC-DC converters – these are either populated with a positive output 14 or 20A module, or…
- Can I replace an isolated 1/16th brick DC-DC converter with an i6A non-isolated converter?
The i6A non-isolated DC-DC converter has the same 1/16th brick footprint as the isolated device in the same format, and is therefore a drop-in replacement. This video…
