Original Press Release:
Cherokee International Adds CAR1212 to Ultra-High-Density 1U Front End / Rectifier Family
12 Volt rectifier powers datacom point- of- load systems
Tustin, Calif., Sep 28, 2005 - Cherokee International (NASDAQ: CHRK), a leading manufacturer of power supplies, today announced its CAR1212 front end intended for low profile, 12-volt (V) distributed power architecture applications, such as networking equipment and mid- to high-end servers. Packaged in a small, 1U-high footprint and measuring 1.61 by 4 by 11.2 inches, the CAR1212 hits an ultra-high power density of 17 watts (W) per cubic inch. The CAR1212 delivers 104 amps (A), supporting 12V bus architectures which power point-of-load (POL) converters for low- to mid-power datacom systems. The small form factor is ideal for space-constrained applications where system real estate is at a premium. Protection features on the rectifier include input over and under voltage, output over voltage, over temperature and over current. In addition, an automatic fan speed control feature is ideal for optimizing noise levels of sensitive office-environment applications. This model is also available with full I2C communications, providing intelligent monitoring and control of critical parameters.
"We can supply up to 104 amps at 12 volts in a high density package minimizing the overall physical area that the power supply occupies within a system," said Mike Wagner, vice president of marketing for Cherokee International. "As the trend continues to support a 12 volt bus structure for low- to mid-power datacom systems, the CAR1212 is perfectly positioned to be an economical, scalable building block to support non-isolated technology and form a solid system foundation for 12-volt bus distributed power."
Pricing and Availability
The CAR1212 modules are priced at $235 in OEM quantities. Samples and low order quantities are available now.
