Can anyone speak on how redundant power supplies work amongst the major manufacturers with regard to power draw and UPS sizing? I think I have a decent grasp of the design concepts, but a sanity check ...

Editor’s note: The following white paper is discussing a topic very familiar to me. For many years, since its inception in 2002, I worked closely with the ATCA and µTCA standard chassis, AMC cards and ...

Intersil Corporation introduced a robust, compact ORing FET controller that provides power redundancy and protection with minimal power dissipation. The new ISL6146 works with N-channel power MOSFETs ...

Fig 1. In this typical redundant power system, three power supplies interface in parallel to the system load via internal ORing diodes. Fig 2. This HFE1600 series 19-in. rack-mount redundant power ...

Although much of this discussion can be applied to applications which require battery back-up, such as -48V telecom central-office equipment, AC-DC front ends do not typically include use of battery ...

Corded equipment often gets left out of high-reliability planning. To build highly available electrical infrastructures, you need redundant components like power distribution units (PDUs), UPSs, and ...

I'm going to be adding a couple UPS units to our server room to provide some "battery backup" in the event of a power outage. All of my servers have redundant power supplies. Would it be "best ...

While they're rated at 200 W, the Series 1721 dc-dc converters are designed for critical dc power applications that require the back-up/redundant features often only provided in larger dc power ...
