Switching Power Supplies come in 1/2 and 1 W models.

Press Release Summary:




Measuring 1 x 7/8 x ½ in., micro-size BPS Series operates with 75% nominal efficiency and is designed for standby mode and green power applications. Circuit design eliminates line EMI, so that no input filtering is required. It also regulates output voltages, even over 85-265 Vac. With no-load power consumption of less than 30 mW, units are available with outputs of 8, 14, and 8 and 5 Vdc. Applications include processors, IR remote receivers, membrane keypads, and LED panel lighting.



Original Press Release:



Smallest Switching Power Supplies Simplify Meeting 1 Watt Standby Power Requirements



Designed for standby mode and "green power" applications, the expanded Bias Power BPS Series micro-size switching power supply allows designers to easily solve space and efficiency problems. Available in either ½ watt or 1 watt models, this new supply operates with nominal 75% efficiency. Up to 56% smaller than predecessor Bias models, it measures just 1" x 7/8" x 1/2".

The BPS is ideal for meeting Energy Star and other "green" 1-watt standby mode applications in appliances and consumer electronics, providing power to system clocks, processors, IR remote receivers, membrane keypads and LED panel lighting. With a no-load power consumption of less than 30 mW, the BPS series efficiently handles the widest possible load variations. Basic low-power applications for the BPS are also widespread, including powering remote and networked sensors, power-line carrier, relay drivers, test equipment, IR receivers, building automation, audio, video, security, AC power adapters and bias supplies.

The Bias Power BPS is based on a patented* circuit design, that so effectively eliminates line EMI that no input filtering is required. This is achieved by isolating the input path for the duration of the conducted noise. The circuit also maximizes conversion efficiency and effectively regulates output voltages, even over 85 to 265 VAC. Outputs of 8, 14 and 8 & 5 VDC are available. An attribute of the overall assembly is extremely rugged construction, making the BPS well suited for portable and harsh environment applications. The BPS is a ready-to-apply solution, so there's no need to re-invent the wheel with larger home-grown switchers.

BPS Series Power Supplies are available for immediate delivery. Priced under $6 in small OEM quantities. For more information, contact Bias Power, LLC, 1368 Busch Parkway, Buffalo Grove, IL 60089 Phone 847-215-2427; Fax 847-215-2914. sales@biaspower.com www.biaspower.com
