TDK-Lambda packs 1,512W into a full brick AC/DC PFC module
TDK-Lambda has announced the PF1500B-360 full brick power module, capable of providing up to 1,512W. The power supply has a 0.98 power factor and delivers a regulated 360V DC non-isolated voltage from an AC input.
The PF1500B-360 can be used to drive isolated high voltage input DC/DC modules in a distributed power architecture, or loads requiring a high voltage DC input. Applications include semiconductor fabrication, LED lighting and custom power supplies using power modules.
Input is 170 to 265V AC, enabling the PF1500B-360 to provide 1,512W and 1,008W when operated from 85 to 265V AC. The 96.5 per cent efficiency ensures reliable operation with baseplate temperatures of up to +100 degrees C and in ambient temperatures of -40 to +85 degrees C, said TDK-Lambda.
The module has industry standard full brick package dimensions (116.8mm in length, 61mm wide and 12.7mm high) and is suitable for low profile applications.
As standard, the PF1500B-360 provides a 10 to 16V 10mA auxiliary voltage, remote on/off and an inverter good signal. An enable function is available to activate isolated DC/DC converters when the output voltage is greater than 360V DC to synchronise output rise times. Parallel connection with current sharing of up to three modules is possible for additional output power.
Input and output to baseplate isolation is 2,500V AC. The PF1500B-360 is certified to the IEC / EN / CSA / UL 62368-1 standards and is CE / UKCA marked to the Low Voltage, EMC and RoHS EU Directives and UK regulations.
With external circuitry, the PF1500B-360 will meet radiated and conducted emissions and comply with the IEC 61000-4 immunity standards.
