SWITCH MODE POWER SUPPLY (SMPS)

SMPS Technology

Our Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) are high efficient and specifically designed to be used in combination with our UcD™, NCORE® and NCOREx® amplifier modules.

Key features include high efficiency over the entire load range, extremely small form factor, low weight and very low radiated and conducted EMI.

The SMPS also features an upgraded over current protection which in case of temporary overload simply reduces the output voltage, only when the overload condition remains for a longer time the supply will enter hiccup mode until the overload condition disappears. This feature combined with large electrolytic buffer capacitors leads to the capability of delivering high dynamic headroom power to the connected amplifier.

The supply is triggered for normal operation or latched off in case of a critical fault via in built-in actuators. The SMPS is optimized from the first phase of design to final implementation to realize the low EMI signature required of the most demanding audio applications.

At our Mains Powered NCORE® family and our NCORE® Active Speaker Family amplifier bricks you’ll find a new feature in our incorporated power supplies, an automatic input voltage selector which accommodates quasi universal mains capabilities. An auxiliary isolated supply to power possible user applications is also included.
