Converter manufacturer CUI Inc. will expand their Novum product line to include high-density, intermediate bus converters. Though the company says final product details are not yet available, initial products in the lab are achieving power densities over 20% higher than similar products currently on the market.
CUI entered into an exclusive Field of Use Agreement with California Power Research Inc. to license Solus Power Topology, then known as BPS-5, in March of 2010. The topology leads to a significant reduction in switching losses within PWM circuits, allowing for improved energy efficiency, faster transient response and increased power density across a range of dc-dc applications, according to the manufacturer. CUI will provide initial samples of their first product incorporating Solus later this year to a select group of customers, followed by a general release later on.
