Etasis AC/DC DualMode or Cold Redundancy: More options for digital power supplies
Etasis Electronics Corporation has announced the latest addition to the Etasis Common Redundant Power Supply (CRPS) series, the EFRP-P80A; a power supply designed for flexibly, optimal energy savings, and customizable depending on each client's need through AC/DC Etasis DualMode or Cold Redundancy.The EFRP-P80A, at 1U height with dimensions of 73.5mm (W) x 39mm (H) x 185mm (D), provides 800W output power and has a peak efficiency rate greater than 94% at 50% of total output. This power module also can operate on either 90VAC-264VAC or 192VDC-288VDC using the same universal input. Etasis has included protections for output short-circuits, overload, over-voltage, over-temperature and input under-voltage as standard features.Digitally monitoring and control can also be achieved through Power Bus Managmenet (PMBus) and can also be set to run in AC/DC Etasis DualMode which allows both AC and DC input into the same system or in Cold Redundancy - a mode which provides even more energy savings compared to conventional redundant systems.Cold RedundancyIn Cold Redundancy, energy efficiency is maximized in this "set-it-and-forget-it" feature. Each power module is able to communicate and start up or go into standby mode independently in order to achieve the highest energy efficiency. At low load, for example, it is more efficient for few power supplies to be active while the others in the system remain in standby. The unactivated power supplies will remain in standby mode or "cold" until it is optimal to do so or there is a failure of the active power supply."Our customers need simple, unique solutions", says Etasis general manager, Jim Chen. "Cold Redundancy has an ease of use that brings actual savings and energy efficiency without having to do much."Cold Redundancy creates the efficiency gain compared to traditional redundancyDuring Computex 2013, Etasis has their private showroom at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Room 1040.

Embracing the Next Generation Smartphone
Smartphone sales have grown tremendously in the past few years. According to Digitimes Research, global smartphone shipment reached a total of nearly 700 million in 2012, and is estimated to grow roughly 43% to reach 1 billion in 2013 and 1.6 billion in 2017. Chilisin's early entry into the smartphone market in 2011 contributed to its outstanding performance in recent years, with total sales almost doubling in the past four years.As smartphone demand continues to grow, its functions and capabilities continue to evolve. In light of the lightness and thinness trend in focus, demand for small yet high-performing components continues to grow. As one of the largest inductor manufacturers in the Greater China region, Chilisin has four types of manufacturing technology that enable it to quickly respond to the smartphone development trend.Contrary to the miniaturization trend at the end of the feature phone era, recent trends have seen the rise of thinner and lighter smartphones with bigger screens. Within the past year, smartphone makers have been releasing new models that feature up to 4.7-, 5-, and 5.5- inch screens that are increasingly lighter-weight. Larger panel size requires larger battery, which shrinks the PCB (printed-circuit board) surface area. As such, even though smartphone device as a whole is increasing in size, the available space for smartphone components is shrinking. Through its production technologies, Chilisin has been able to develop miniaturized yet high-performing power inductors ideal for the changing smartphone demand. Notably, Chilisin's molded metal-alloy miniature high-current power inductor (AME and MHCD Series), developed using advanced wiring and powder material, is able to support ultra-high current in low profile. Perhaps even better in characteristics, the epoxy resin glue wire-wound power inductor (LVM Series) is also becoming the dominant choice for high-efficiency smartphones and hand-held devices.As panel dimensions increase, so does the need for HD (high definition) features. In recent years, MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) interface has become widely adopted for use in panels and camera modules as demand for smartphone continues to rise. Through both the multi-layer and thin-film technology, Chilisin will be introducing a new type of common mode filter to support standard MIPI interfaces. The newly developed common mode filter (CMF0806 Series) is able to achieve much smaller dimensions compared to traditional wire-wound products.Another defining feature of the new smartphone generation is the rise of 4G and LTE networks. Aside from high quality imaging, high network speed has become one of the most important features for smartphone users. Ultra-high-speed networks require highly accurate RF signal processing capabilities. In 2012, Chilisin successfully developed the high-precision thin-film chip inductor (TFL0603 Series) for use in high-performing smartphones. Produced through photolithography, a process used in the micro-fabrication of semiconductors, thin-film inductors are superior to multilayer inductors in size and accuracy. At one-fifth in circuit diameter of multilayer inductors, thin-film inductors can achieve characteristics with tighter tolerance levels to support next-generation high-speed networks.On a global scale, the smartphone market is a spotlight topic for both consumers and producers. In light of the rising thinness, lightness, big-screen and high-efficiency trend, Chilisin has been quick to develop a set of miniaturized and high-performing products ideal for smartphones and hand-held devices. In an ever-changing landscape of electronic devices, the ability to realize and quickly adapt to rising trends becomes both a competitive advantage and a key to survival.
