CUI Inc's power line, V-Infinity, announces a further expansion to its
line-up of high efficiency external power adapters. CUI's latest release
includes 18W and 40W desktop adapters. Both
meet Level V efficiency standards and exceed the current US EISA 2007
efficiency regulations. Offered in a wide range of output voltages, these high
efficiency adapters are a continuation of the company's strategy to offer a
full line-up of Level V products.
The new ETSA desktop adapter series provides more power in a reduced form
factor. The 40W ETSA series is 50 percent
smaller than the Level IV series it replaces. These compact power supplies
include UL and GS safety approvals.

On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
