150W Switcher

The PAS150 switcher not only meets all Class A PFC requirements, but also provides greater reliability and higher MTBF (mean time between failure) through use of fewer components. Furthermore, the relative cost per Watt of a passive PFC switcher like the PAS150 is significantly less than a comparable switch mode power supply employing active PFC techniques.

In operation, the PAS150 switcher provides a universal 115/230Vac input selection and a single output of 150W continuous power. The user can select one of several factory-set output voltages, including 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 24V, and 48V. The PAS150 switcher features optional current-sharing capability for 1+1 redundancy with no special interconnection requirement. Other options include remote on/off, and droop or single-wire current sharing with OR-ing diodes. The standard unit provides superb heat dissipation, and also offers an optional fan with its own 12Vdc supply.
