PerFormanCe POWER PFC250

The PerFormanCe Power PFC250 series combines Power Factor

Correction (PFC) with wide range outputs to meet the requirements

of data communications and industrial controls. The PFC250-4530

and PFC250-4350 provide high current +3.3V and +5V on a single

platform to support mixed mode, high-speed digital circuitry.

Power-One’s unique dual converter architecture combines high

reliability with exceptional regulation.

All models feature remote sense on outputs V1 and V2 to provide

independent compensation of output cable losses. Other standard

features include independent current sharing on V1 and V2, thermal

shutdown, and remote inhibit. Airflow of 300 linear feet per minute

(LFM) is required to deliver the full power density of 3.0 watts per

cubic inch.

The PerFormanCe Power PFC250 meets international safety

requirements and is CE Marked to the Low Voltage Directive.

FEATURES

• Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) Meets EN61000-3-2

• Dual Main Outputs Provide 3.3V and 5V for Mixed Mode Applications

• Single Wire Current Sense on Outputs V1 and V2

• Remote Sense on Outputs V1 and V2

• Overtemperature, Overload, and Overvoltage Protection

• Available with Metric or SAE Mountings

• Isolated V3 and V4 can be Used as Positive or Negative Outputs

• Greater than 200,000 Hours MTBF

ISOLATED V3 AND V4 CAN BE USED AS POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE OUTPUTS
