New Power Supplies Set The ÒNonÓ Standard

Designed as a standard configurable product, the new Vega Series of modular power supplies utilizes off-the-shelf modules and converters that can be quickly assembled to meet custom output specifications. This is said to eliminate the need for high-cost, long lead-time custom power supplies. According to the company, these configurable switch-mode power supplies offer designers a higher level of reliability and flexibility than was previously available. Initially offered in two packages of 450W and 650W, the company says it can meet turnaround times of two weeks for evaluation units and six weeks for production volumes. The series spans an output range of 1.8V to 31V, with higher voltages possible by series operation. The 450W and 650W packages offer a maximum of 10 outputs with no minimum load requirements. Pricing averages $0.80/W in OEM quantities. LAMBDA, San Diego, CA. (800) 526-2324.
