Chilisin's new molded High Efficiency Power Inductors (HEI Series) performance allows the designers to select a smaller component while scarifying little to no power efficiency. In some instances there is even an improvement. In analyzing the performance of the HEI inductors, power efficiency will be performed under two conditions: Standby mode (light load, PFM) and In-Use (heavy load, PWM).1. Light load, PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation)In general smart phones tend to be in power save mode for a longer period of time than in heavy load. Hence addressing the efficiency under light load conditions is critical for battery life. During light load mode, the SMPS uses PFM (pulse frequency modulation) mode for switching. Under light load conditions most of the inductor losses are attributed to the AC losses. Since the current is low, actual losses are due to the switching frequency. Hence it is important for an inductor to have a low Rac and the resultant Higher Quality factor (or the so-called Q value). Designers may also compare Q values of inductors as a reference index of which one would present a lower AC loss at low frequencies (<~1MHz). Q and Rac are inversely proportional (High Q = Low Rac). As can be seen in Fig.1, Chilisin HEI performed a better Q value and resulted into higher power efficiency in the light load mode, as Fig.2 shown.2. Heavy Load, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)Under heavy load, both of DC copper loss, AC copper losses and core loss all are important in the efficiency improvement. Especially, the DCR of the inductor plays a major role in the inductor losses (P=I2RDCR) since the current is significantly higher than in light load.One of the Chilisin core technologies is to have their own proprietary metal powder formulation for HEI inductors which share the benefits of low RDCR and Rac combinations. In additional to lower DC resistance values, the powders used also exhibits higher Q value, and therefore reduced the core loss further.Company Website: http://www.chilisin.com.tw/

Etasis provides high-end redundant power supplies for such server, storage, automation control, cloud, and even network power applications. In recent years, development in "cloud computing" has given birth to a "cloud" industry, which has profound effects on the computer industry and its supply chain.As a key player in the power supply sector, Etasis has been focusing on developing cloud-based power supplies since the early stage of the cloud industry. Cloud computing integrates and optimizes higher density computing devices, which helps bring more computing power than traditional datacenters. The size of cloud-based power supplies is usually reduced, and their power output increased to allow more power and space for computing units. With such high power density, power efficiency is crucial in assisting heat dissipation and reducing utility cost. More importantly, centralized power monitoring and management is necessary to manage massive arrays of power and computing systems. Power Management Bus (PMBus) has become a standard communication protocol for communication between the system and power supply. Through PMBus, system administrators can interact with power supplies to keep peak efficiency and lower power loss with preset power policies and real-time monitor and control. In summary, smaller, more powerful, more efficient and intelligent power supplies are the trend of the power industry.Etasis has been designing digital power units since 2008. During these years it has developed internal digital control technologies using on-board software to closely monitor and control the loop from power input to output. Not only can Etasis shrink the size of power supply components and achieve higher efficiency and lower cost, but it can also make power supplies more intelligent. Through the PMBus interface, customers can monitor and control Etasis' redundant power supplies and further optimize system power consumption.Etasis has been manufacturing redundant power supplies for mission-critical applications for more than 18 years. Etasis' redundant power supplies can be adapted to communicate with any system via firmware and PMBus customizations. This digital capability is Etasis' key strength. The redundancy aspect of designs alone is not enough; the digital aspect of design is the key to staying competitive in the market.Etasis' roadmap is defined based on application trends. Making smaller but more efficient devices is the company's goal. In 2014 Etasis is surfing on the "cloud," targeting network and server power supplies based on its mature digital designs, looking to provide more cost-effective power solutions.
