Focus:
When developing medical equipment, fully customized power supply solutions take time to
design, prototype and manufacture, and are subject to time-consuming certification tests
before they can be deployed. In contrast, choosing standard, off-the-shelf supplies can
require compromises in performance, size and thermal management. This is why medical
manufacturers are looking at a “third way”—adopting high-efficiency modular power supplies
that can be configured to match application requirements while being fully safety
certified and ready for immediate use. This article considers the challenges facing
designers of medical equipment and explains the benefits of modular power supplies in
these applications including the latest advanced features and on-board intelligence.
Advanced Energy’s Excelsys CoolX family is used to illustrate the capabilities of modular
power supplies.
What you’ll learn:
- How to understand the benefits of using modular power supplies in medical applications at 300 W and higher
- How to speed time to market by using modular power supplies in medical applications
- How to understand safety and thermal management requirements for medical power supplies
