Switching Power Supply provides 700 W.

Press Release Summary:




Model PFC700-S modular, power factor-corrected switch-mode power supply provides single isolated output of 600-700 W continuous power. It corrects input current waveform to better than 0.99 power factor at supply's full load of 120 Vac. Open frame unit featurs current sharing as standard with hot swap capability as option. Output voltages range from 2-48 V. Unit is HALT tested and compliant with US, Canadian, and European certifications.



Original Press Release:



Taiyo Yuden Combines >0.99 Power Factor Correction and Compact Size with Low Cost in New Single Isolated Output 700W Switcher



SAN MAP COS, CA-November 5, 2002 -Taiyo Yuden (U.S.A.). Inc. introduces its new Model PFC700-S, the latest addition to its
PFC(TM) Series of modular, power factor-corrected switch-mode power supplies. The PFC700-S is a compact 700W switcher that
provides a single isolated (floating) output of 600-700W continuous output power (120% surges less than or equal to 20 seconds). The PFC700-S corrects the input current waveform to better than 0.99 power factor at the supply's full rated load of 120VAC. The user may select any of several factory-set output voltages, including 2, 3.3, 5, 12, 15, 24, 28, 36 and 48V. All models feature current sharing as a standard feature, with "hot swap" capability an available option.

The PFC-700S can accommodate the full spectrum of OEM power supply needs and allow quick prototype delivery or customer
modifications to the standard unit. To ensure 100% out of the box operation, the PFC700-S is HALT tested (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) to verify design parameters. The PFC700-S is compliant with a number of US, Canadian and European certifications, including IEC1000-3-2 harmonic distortion requirements, EN61000-4 surge withstand, CISPR 11/ 22 and FCC Docket 20780 for EMI requirements, and is CE's Compliance to Low Voltage Directive. Physically, the open-frame unit measures just 9.0" (L) x 5.0" (W) x 2.5" (H).

Manufactured in the company's IS09001-certified facilities in North America, the PFC700-S is ideal for telecom, process control and other applications, many of which require only a single output voltage. Aside from a lower cost per Watt versus multiple output switchers, this also allows the unit's full current rating to be applied to a single output voltage instead of being divided among multiple outputs and thus derated.

Tokyo-based Taiyo Yuden Co. Ltd. is a $1.4B worldwide manufacturer of surface mount and leaded passive components, power electronics modules and power supplies for the industrial, medical, computer and telecommunications markets. Now in its 52nd year, Taiyo Yuden employs more than ten thousand people worldwide. Taiyo Yuden (U.S.A.), Inc., the North American affiliate, operates sales and engineering offices in Chicago, San Jose and San Diego.
