Computing Power Supplies Overview

At Emerson Network Power - Embedded Power, our engineers have been designing and developing power supply products for the computing market for over 35 years. Our products have helped pave the way for advancements in numerous 1U and blade server applications, including enterprise, industrial and office network servers for web, secure data, video, music and print functions.

We also produce custom AC-DC and DC-DC power solutions for netbooks, notebooks, laptops, desktop PCs and computer workstations. Our range of DC-DC converters for the computing market includes specialist memory power modules and voltage regulator modules (VRMs) for powering today’s high performance processors.

Trends/Opportunities
  • The global server market is currently worth approximately $45 billion a year (2009 figure).
  • Growth in Enterprise and Web Applications
  • Blade Computing
  • Digital Controls
  • Efficiency and Density
  • Virtualization
  • Cloud Computing
  • Data Center Consolidation

Given that data centers are such large users of power, with factors such as the ENERGY STAR program and the Climate Savers Computing Initiative forcing users to seek various means of reducing their energy demands, the key attribute of power supplies for computing/server applications is conversion efficiency. Cost, reliability, acoustic noise and power density – and hence physical size – are also important attributes. For portable computing applications, battery management facilities are a further consideration.

Why Emerson Network Power - Embedded Power?
Worldwide, there are several computing power supply manufacturers to choose from, many of which produce good products. One of the leading companies is Emerson Network Power - Embedded Power, which is responsible for the well-known Astec and Artesyn brands. Together, these two product brands encompass literally thousands of AC-DC Power Supplies and DC-DC Converters. Emerson offers a large variety of standard, modified and custom AC-DC power supplies covering a 2 to 4,920 watt power band, together with an extensive range of DC-DC converters covering a 3 to 700 watt power band, to most of the world's most leading manufacturers of computing equipment.

AC-DC Power Supplies
These power supplies are ideally suited to a wide variety of applications in communications, computing, storage, business systems, test, instrumentation and industrial equipment.
  • Low to medium power supplies extend from 25 to 500 watts
  • Many of the models above 60 watts offer harmonic current correction
  • Choice of single or multiple wide-range isolated outputs
These include a large number of models that are designed specifically as bulk power front-ends for systems that use DPA or IBA. They include 1U, 2U and 3U high rack-mounting modular power supplies with individual power ratings up to 3,000 watts, which can be used to configure bulk power systems with very high output capabilities.
  • Individual power ratings up to 3,000 watts
  • Includes 1U, 2U and 3U high rack-mounting modular power supplies
  • Designed as bulk power front-ends for systems that use DPA or IBA
Emerson's range of external freestanding power adapters are available for class I or class II applications. Note that the AC input cables themselves are not provided. All the power adapters feature extensive safety approvals.
  • Adapters extend from 3 to 100 watts
  • Features wide-range AC inputs and comprehensive overload protection
  • Available with a 2- or 3-pin AC input receptacle
These include individual power modules that enable customers to configure bulk power systems. At the same time they are renowned for their outstanding performance, reliability and cost-effective.
  • Output ratings of up to 3,000 watts
  • Bulk power systems with up to 18 kilowatts output capability
  • Medical versions available with extensive built-in intelligence
DC-DC Converters
Design engineers are attracted to FPGA Modules because of their programming flexibility. They allow you to easily change your product as end user needs change. Does it make any sense to then power your FPGA modules with inflexible analog power supplies? Altera, Xilinx and other FPGA manufacturers responded NO - it is better to incorporate flexibility throughout your FPGA design to respond quickly to changes in the future.
Emerson Network Power's portfolio of Industry-Standard Isolated DC-DC Converters covers sixteenth- to full-brick form factors and power ratings from 3 watts to 700 watts.
Emerson Network Power's portfolio of Non-Isolated DC-DC Converters is one of the most extensive in the industry. It includes five application-optimized product families, together with a series of specialized memory power and voltage regulator modules (VRMs) for processors, spanning an output current range of 3 to 105 A.
Emerson Network Power's extensive range of DC-DC converters includes a number of high-efficiency ultra low profile models for applications where above-board height is severely restricted.
Emerson Network Power's MTC600 Series Power Modules provide a compact self-contained power solution for MicroTCA systems. The modules can support shelves, cubes and other system implementations, and are fully compliant with the PICMG MicroTCA.0 Revision 1.0 specification.
