CUI Expands Next Generation Open Frame Power Supply Family up to 150 Watts

TUALATIN, Ore. — September 9, 2014 — CUI Inc announced today that it has expanded its VOF series of compact, open frame ac-dc power supplies to include 100, 120, and 150 W versions.

The single-output supplies are higher-power additions to their recently released series of second generation open frame power supplies, designed to provide a number of improvements over the company’s previous offering, including higher efficiencies, improved no-load performance, and a boost in power.

The power supplies can accommodate a wide universal input voltage of 90~277 Vac at 47-63 Hz input, offering global compatibility for OEM manufacturers. They have been created to provide an industry leading combination of efficiency and competitive pricing, making the series ideally suited for use in a wide range of ITE, industrial, and consumer electronics applications.

The 100, 120 and 150 W versions offer output voltage options of 5, 12, 15, 24, 36 and 48 Vdc depending on the series. All models include output voltage adjustability of +/-5% via an onboard potentiometer.

The VOF-100 is rated for operation at 100% load with 6.7 CFM of forced air cooling from -20°C to 50°C, derating to 50% load at 60°C. VOF-120 and VOF-150 models operate under convection cooling conditions at 100% load from -20°C to 40°C, also derating to 50% load at 60°C.

All models are packaged in industry standard footprints.  The 100 W VOF series measures just 101.6 x 50.75 x 33.6 mm (4.00 x 2.00 x 1.32 in), while the 120 W and 150 W VOF models measure 127 x 76.2 x 33.1 mm (5.00 x 3.00 x 1.32 in.)

Reaching efficiencies of up to 90% and no-load power consumption as low as 0.25 W, the VOF Series also carries UL/cUL and TUV 60950-1 safety certifications and are qualified for the CE mark, EN 55022 Class B, and FCC Class B EMI standards. Protections for over voltage, over current and short circuit are included as well as primary to secondary isolation voltage of 3 K Vac.  The VOF-150 series is also designed with active power factor correction.

The new VOF series is available through distribution with prices starting at $36.28 per unit at 100 pieces. Please contact CUI for OEM pricing.

Summary

Availability: 8-10 weeks
Possible applications: ITE, telecommunication, industrial applications
Primary features: Compact, efficient, economical
Cost: Prices starting at $36.28 for 100 pieces through distribution

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
