Power-One has introduced the HP6 Series of 600W front ends. These AC-DC power supplies provide up to four main outputs, from 0.8 to 12VDC, plus a 5VDC standby output. This multiple-output, hot-swap capability accelerates time to market in networking applications requiring several high-current rail voltages and/or instances where sufficient board space is not available to implement distributed power and intermediate bus architectures.

HP6 products incorporate internal ORing diodes and support paralleling and current sharing for up to three main outputs. Other features include an I2C-interface, full-power operation up to 50°C ambient, front-mounted AC receptacles, a wide 90-264VAC input range with power-factor correction, up to 80 amps per main output, and compact 1U-high enclosures with 11.5” x 5” (292 x 127mm) footprints. Protections include: output overvoltage, output overcurrent, and overtemperature.

Certifications include TUV and cTUVus; a CB report is available. Pricing is output-voltage dependent and is typically less than $500 per unit for mid-volume OEM requirements. Depending on configuration and quantity, prototype and production lead times are approximately eight to sixteen weeks.
