AC/DC Power Supplies      
  Astec Power's full AC/DC power supply family delivers outputs from 6W to 18kW in many package styles including open frame, enclosed and DIN-rail mount. The company also manufactures a broad range of external power adaptors, as well as the industry's first digitally controlled AC/DC switching power supplies.  
 
Astec Power AC/DC power supplies fall into the following categories
Low Power (25W - 350W)
– Open frame/enclosed
– 1-4 outputs
– External adapters
Medium Power (400W - 1200W)
  – 1-21 outputs
High Power (1200W - 2500W)
  – 1-18 outputs
 
Bulk Power (350W - 3000W)
– 1U and 3U formats
DIN Rail (24V 60W - 480W)
  – Standard DIN format with PFC
Intelligent MP (iMP) Series (600W - 1500W)
 
    Low Power AC/DC Power Supplies  
Low Power AC/DC Power Supplies      
  Combining wide input voltage ranges, up to four adjustable outputs and enclosed and open frame options, Astec's Low Power (LP) AC/DC supplies allow designers to address a wide variety of applications with power requirements to 350W.

    iMP Digitally Controlled AC/DC Power Supplies  
     
  The industry's first digitally controlled AC/DC switching power supplies combine modular design with an onboard microprocessor for programmability and smart communications. Hardware modules give designers the ability to tailor solutions with single-, dual- and triple- outputs in power ratings from 600W to 1500W. Modules can be configured in a selection of four customisable cases accepting input voltages from 85VAC to 264VAC or 120VDC to 350VDC. Cases can accommodate up to seven individual modules with output options ranging from 2VDC to 60VDC.  
 
Using the iMP Series intelligent I2C control, designers can program key features on each output, including
Voltage
Output enable/sequencing
Module inhibit/enable polarity
 
DC OK thresholds
Output current limit set-point and type
Overtemperature threshold
 
The iMP series products meet worldwide safety and performance standards including listings from UL and CE, as well as full medical compliance with EN60601.
 
    DC/DC Converters  
       
  Astec Power's high-efficiency, high-density DC/DC converter family includes isolated and non-isolated Point-Of-Load (POL) devices and spans power levels from 6W to 600W. The range includes low power isolated parts for industrial applications, along with industry-standard isolated solutions in full brick,
half brick, ¼ brick, 1⁄8 brick and 1⁄16 brick formats. Isolated bus converters address the latest Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) designs. Non-isolated parts include POLA™ (Point-Of-Load Alliance) devices and parts dedicated to the requirements of processors and DDR memory. With a focus on reliability, products in the Astec Power DC/DC converter family offer typical MTBF ratings in excess of one million hours.
