TDK-Lambda Americas Inc.'s new
single-output ZPSA100 is available with single output voltages
from 5V to 48V dc and are well-suited for operation in convection or air cooled
environments from 0 to 70C, with appropriate derating. A green LED is used as
an indicator that the power supply is on, and other features include over
voltage and short-circuit protection. These supplies are offered in an
open-board configuration with Molex input/output connectors.
Accepting a wide input voltage range of 90-264V ac (47-440Hz) or 120-370V dc,
the ZPSA100 series is ready for use with no further configuration or input
selection. It can be a drop-in replacement for existing supplies and can be
installed in compact applications.
TDK-Lambda's ZPSA100 series is approved to
national and international safety approvals, including IEC/EN/UL/CSA60950-1 (Edition
2) meets conducted and radiated EMC requirements of EN55022-B and FCC Class B
(without additional filtering or components) and meets EN61000-4 immunity
specifications. Models in the ZPSA100 series carry the CE
mark, according to the LV Directive, and come with a two-year warranty. It is
for applications such as LED signage and lighting, point-of-sale equipment,
datacom, video/audio routers and test and measurement equipment.
A new battery design, which replaces lithium with abundant and low-cost elemental sulfur, is still in its nascent stages but shows real promise for giving batteries more energy potential.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
