Vicor Corp.'s IBC050
series of wide input range VI BRICK Bus Converters are available as drop-in
upgrades for industry standard 5:1 and 4:1 converters. The new eighth and quarter
bricks achieve up to 98 percent efficiency from a 36 to 60V input voltage range
at power levels of up to 650W. With its wider input range, the IBC050 series
also provides 2,250V dc isolation from input to output.
The wider input range complies
with ETSI EN300 132-2 for -48V telecom applications requiring 5:1 or 4:1 bus
conversion from input voltages 36 to 60V. The higher input-to-output isolation
complies with IEEE 802.3 Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standards. Owing to their
low effective output resistances, IBC050 series modules support output bus
voltages of 7 to 12V (5:1) or 8.7 to 15V (4:1) over the line and load range.
IBC050 series modules use Vicor's Sine Amplitude Converter topology and are pin-compatible.
The new VI BRICK Bus
Converters use the ZCS/ZVS resonant converter technology. Switching at
approximately 10 times the frequency of square wave converters, IBC050 modules
cut transient response time by a factor of 10, eliminating the need for external
bulk capacitors. Power density and conversion efficiency are useful for OEMs
seeking to maximize performance across a range of applications, including
telecommunications, computing, data storage, networking and
Power-over-Ethernet.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.
The 3D printing revolution seems to have a knack for quickly moving technology ahead by way of collaborative effort and even a little friendly competition -- all of course in the name of scientific advancement.
Advantech has launched a new series of motion-control I/O modules to meet the increased demands that come with more distributed industrial systems that require control of a growing number of axes and devices.
Using almost 200 light-emitting diodes in the front and back of the new 2014 CTS, Cadillac designers are showing how LEDs can change the character of a vehicle.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
