The LCM600 series of 2U high distributed power front-end AC-DC power supplies provides a very cost effective bulk power solution. The series comprises five models, offering outputs of 12V, 15V, 24 V, 36 V or 48 V, together with an optional 5V standby output. Each model accepts a universal input of 85–264 Vac and has a typical full load efficiency of 89%. Carrying industrial and medical safety approvals, these power supplies can deliver up to 600 watts and offer versatile bulk power for a wide variety of industrial, medical, military and process automation applications. They are especially suitable for systems that use a distributed power architecture (DPA) or point-of-load (POL) scheme. A built-in OR-ing FET allows up to 10 units to be connected in parallel for high current applications. These digitally controlled power supplies feature an I2C interface that allows the output voltage to be programmed up to 20% either side of nominal for voltage margin testing. Bio-decontamination equipment is used in hospitals and laboratories worldwide as well as providing a critical line of defense when major bacterial, viral or pathogen outbreaks occur. Artesyn's LCM600 series AC-DC power supplies provide a very cost-effective and reliable single-output power source for a manufacturer of bio-decontamination equipment. Full medical approval to the IEC 60601 3rd edition standard and 2xMOPP (means of patient protection) made it easier to integrate Artesyn's unit in to the customer’s design, while digital control gave them the flexibility they needed to tailor the power supply to their exact needs. For example, the customer selected a low noise fan option to suit the clinical environment of their equipment.
