Compact, Conduction Cooled 504W Rated AC-DC Power Modules Offer PMBus™ Communication

San Diego, CA – April 2019 –
TDK Corporation (TSE 6762) announces the introduction of the conduction cooled TDK-Lambda PFH500F-28 AC-DC power modules. The power supplies are rated at 28V 504W, feature a compact 4” x 2.4” footprint and have optional Read/Write programming and communication through a PMBus™ interface. These third generation power supplies are ideal for a variety of applications including COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf), power amplifiers, LED displays and test equipment.
The PFH500F-28 series utilizes GaN semiconductors, bridgeless power factor correction, synchronous rectification and digital control, enabling efficiencies of up to 92%. Opto-couplers have been replaced by digital isolators for long term reliability and stability.
Accepting an 85 to 265VAC input, the modules deliver 28V at 18A and can be adjusted from 22.4 to 33.6V using the trim pin or PMBus interface. Baseplate cooling allows operation at temperatures ranging from -40 to +100°C. The metal enclosure measures 4 x 2.4 x 0.53” (101.6 x 61.0 x 13.3mm) and is encapsulated for MIL-STD-810G shock and vibration.
Features and options include a 12V standby voltage with 200mA (or 2.4W) capability, remote on/off, pre-biasing start-up, droop mode current share, a DC Good signal, various protections (OVP, UVP, OCP, OTP) and a PMBus interface. The interface can be used to program (read-write) the output voltage and fault management functions and monitor the unit’s operating status.
The series has been certified to the IEC/UL/CSA/EN 60950-1 safety standards (62368-1 pending) and carries the CE mark for the Low Voltage and RoHS Directives. Input to ground isolation is 2,500Vac, input to output 3,000Vac and output to case 1,500Vdc.
More information and product availability can be obtained on the TDK Product Center, or by calling 800-LAMBDA-4.
