Emerson Network Power Releases ATC250

Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson aid that it has enhanced its DC-DC bus converter portfolio with the release of the ATC250.
 
ATC250, a high density, dual-input converter, offers board manufacturers a ruggedized, compact solution for generating on-board power in high-density AdvancedTCA (News - Alert) (ATCA) environments and other space-constrained systems that typically employ distributed power architectures.
 
A fully integrated on-board power solution, this latest offering joins the company’s 210 W ATC210 integrated input power entry module and intermediate bus converter solution. Company officials said that it features two independent -48 Vdc inputs, each with a wide input voltage range of -36 Vdc to -72 Vdc.
 
Additional features include a secondary 3.3 V management bus output, which can supply up to 14.85 W of tightly regulated power for control and monitoring functions.
 
In addition, the ATC250 offers 50 V to 80 V of adjustable, programmable hold-up voltage through an external trim resistor. This enables the converter to be fine-tuned to meet precise hold-up time requirements.
 
Equipped with an integrated Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filter, the ATC250 meets CISPR Class A conducted emissions standards and requires minimal external parts to meet Class B.
 
Officials said that the solution complies with EU directive 2002/95/EC compliance for Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) environmental standards. And, it has obtained booth EN60950-1 and UL/cUL60950-1 safety approvals.
 
Earlier last month, the company introduced Liebert MPX and Liebert MPH, two families for power distribution and monitoring inside rack servers, designed to support IT managers dealing with the frequent changes and complexities of connected loads throughout their IT and network infrastructures.
