Advanced Energy: 600 W Full-Brick 48 V AC-DC Supply with up to 94% Peak Efficiency
The AIF13WAC delivers 20% higher output with 14% lower losses.
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc has extended its range of AIF full-brick board-mounted AC-DC power supplies. Designed for data center, telecom and industrial applications, the AIF13WAC is a 48V, 600W power supply that offers a peak efficiency of up to 94%.
Unlike most available devices of this type, the new AIF13WAC integrates full digital control and monitoring (via PMBus) and active current sharing along with internal inrush limiting functionality.
Compared to the previous generation, the AIF13WAC increases output power by 20% in the same form-factor and therefore is compatible with all accessories created for previous generations, including case-kits, heatsinks and EMI filters.
For contact-cooled, fanless applications such as IP-sealed designs, there is now an easy upgrade path to deliver greater power than the previous generation of 500 W products.
“The growing demand for higher-power solutions makes seamless system upgrades essential. The AIF13WAC meets this need by offering a drop‑in replacement for earlier generations, within the same form factor, enabling engineers to boost performance without changing their existing designs,” said David Richmond, Advanced Energy’s senior vice president, High Volume Products, System Power. “The AIF13WAC also adds an auxiliary output and other enhancements that extend flexibility beyond what’s typically available in comparable platforms.”
The AIF13WAC accepts a wide input voltage range of 90 to 264 VAC, and delivers a 13 A, 48 VDC nominal output alongside a 10 V (250 mA) auxiliary output. It is housed in a 2.4 x 4.6 x 0.55-inch full-brick form factor and can run with up to three units in parallel. The input EMI filter, hold-up capacitors, and output capacitors are the only external components required for the realization of a successful application design.
