New fully featured 3 Phase input, 5kW AC-DC power supply delivers the ultimate flexibility through software configurability

April 30th, 2019 – XP Power has announced the HPT5K0 series, a range of high-power density, high efficiency, resonant zero-voltage switching (ZVS) 5kW AC-DC power supplies with both ITE/industrial and medical agency approvals that feature a three-phase, three-wire, 180 to 528VAC input. This drastically simplifies installation as there is no need for a neutral connection, which is often not available in industrial applications.

Inbuilt digital control allows the setting of both the output voltage (0-105%) and output current (0-110%) via both analog & digital control interfaces. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) is also provided to support system development & … Read More → "New fully featured 3 Phase input, 5kW AC-DC power supply delivers the ultimate flexibility through software configurability"

Microsoft Buys Express Logic RTOS Company

“The future lies in designing… computers that users don’t realize are computers at all.” – Adam Osborne

The big fish eat the small fish. That’s a law of the jungle… er, aquarium.

Last week, software leviathan Microsoft gobbled up minnow Express Logic and its well-regarded RTOS, ThreadX. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed by either side, but my finger-in-the-breeze estimate is that the price was in the range of tens of millions of dollars, not hundreds of millions. Figure on eight figures … Read More → "Microsoft Buys Express Logic RTOS Company"
