Intelligent, configurable full brick AC/DC 500 W module with
integrated inrush limiting and PMBus™ communication offers
best-in-class 93% efficiency
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS) – a global
leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion,
measurement and control solutions – expands its presence in the
industrial, robotics and 5G telecom markets with the launch of the
AE Artesyn AIF42 AC/DC converter. The new converter reduces system
size, delivers best-in-class 93% efficiency and enhances
reliability by minimizing the need for external components.

The AIF42 full brick module is rated for 500 W of continuous
power and provides integrated functionality that facilitates
ease-of-use, rapid application design and fast time-to-market. This
includes a proprietary internal inrush current limiting function,
which saves space, reduces overall system cost and improves
reliability by eliminating the need for external components to
provide inrush current protection. In addition, a 10 V auxiliary
output enables low-power housekeeping circuitry to be supplied
directly from the module rather than a second AC/DC power
converter.
“AE’s new module is designed for applications that require high
performance and reliable operation in harsh environments,” said Joe
Voyles, vice president marketing, industrial power conversion
products at Advanced Energy. “The new AIF42 offers industry-leading
efficiency, simplifies and speeds application design, and minimizes
overall bill of materials by providing built-in,
application-focused features.”
The converter’s high operating efficiency across a wide load
range lowers energy consumption and minimizes heat dissipation. The
module’s design is optimized for I.P. sealed applications in
high-pollution environments or externally mounted systems, which
require solutions that are thermally bonded and contact-cooled to a
cold-wall or heatsink. This results in 100% available output power
at baseplate temperatures as high as 100ºC.
PMBus™ control and monitoring allow designers to optimize power
supply operation to the specific needs of the target application.
This connectivity can also be used to access information on power
supply and system health during operation in the field.
Accommodating a wide universal input range of 90-264 VAC, the
AIF42 full brick module provides a nominal isolated 12 V output
with load rating from 0 A to 42 A. An external hold-up function can
be implemented through the addition of recommended capacitors to
the module’s HVDC port. Active current share and start-sync
functionality simplify solutions implementation for applications
that require two units to operate in parallel.
