Artesyn has launched a new family of 1200W front-end AC/DC power supplies featuring an extensive set of configuration and control facilities to simplify system integration and power management
Power supply simulation tool available on web
SimScope provides a virtual design lab for engineers to select various Artesyn products, configure input and output circuitry, set-up test parameters and then view voltage and current waveforms
The search tool makes extensive use of context-sensitive drop-down menus, which help prevent user error by dispensing with the need for typing, and accelerate criteria selection.
Users can chose to view a selection of suitable power sources, displayed in 'product tree' form, or they can narrow their search field by specifying a wide range of operational parameters, including output power, input/output voltages, number of outputs, form factor and physical height.
The search tool looks across Artesyn's entire range of standard AC/DC power supplies and DC/DC convertors, all of which are available 'off-the-shelf' or with very short lead times.

70W AC/DC power supplies offer more flexibility
Artesyn's new 70 Watt AC/DC power supplies offer greater design flexibility
Products include 87 high-efficiency switch-mode AC/DC power supplies in the 15 to 150W power range, 220 isolated DC/DC convertors with outputs from 2 to 264W, and a series of nonisolated point-of-load convertors.
Every one of these products is supported by comprehensive technical data - having located the specific power conversion unit that they require, users can download PDF format short- and long-form datasheets and application notes at the click of a mouse.
Typically, the complete search process, from specifying requirements through to viewing suitable products, takes less than 20s.
According to Joe O'Callaghan, VP of DC/DC Engineering for Artesyn Technologies, "Our standard product range is expanding rapidly, due to an aggressive R and D programme.
In the DC/DC sector, for example, we've brought 17 new open-frame products to market within the last few months.
One effect of this is that electronics designers increasingly regard our website as an important information source, so anything we can do to make life easier for them is bound to be beneficial.
By enabling people to quickly 'home-in' on the product they need, and confirm their choice with downloadable technical data, the parametric search tool will further improve the service we provide to our customers and potential customers".
Artesyn Technologies makes a wide range of resources available to potential customers via its website, to help them minimise design-in time and speed time-to-market.
Most collateral literature and marketing documentation - including technical articles, white papers, product datasheets, shortform catalogues and press releases - can be downloaded as PDF files, and users can also subscribe to regular email updates if they so wish.
The website also details Artesyn's worldwide network of sales representatives and distributors, enabling customers to easily find their nearest supplier.
