Cherokee International, a leading manufacturer of power supplies, announced that EDN magazine has named the CAR2500 series of front end/rectifiers in the 2007 list of products recognized in its annual Hot 100 Products issue.
Products that appear in EDN's annual Hot 100 Products issue are chosen by its editors from the hundreds of newsworthy items that grace the pages of EDN in print or online.
Eligible products must have appeared in EDN during the year and could have been featured in EDN's New Products section, a feature story, or an online exclusive. The list encompasses a range of architectures and technologies, and a plethora of categories — from analog ICs to multimedia to test-and-measurement tools. Cherokee International's CAR2500 power supply platform appears in the Power Sources category.
EDN Editorial Director Maury Wright stated: "Our editorial team covers new product introductions on a daily basis and we see a lot of worthy products. We look back once a year and choose the introductions that we believe will have the greatest significance to the design engineer and create the Hot 100 list."
The CAR2500 platform is an industry leading 1U front end/rectifier solution which minimizes valuable space and losses within a system — given its high efficiency rating greater than 92 percent. The CAR2500 series consists of five models ranging from 12 to -54 volts rounding out the full family. It is designed as a flexible building block to satisfy specific OEM power applications.
The CAR2500 is capable of offering an unprecedented 10,000W when combined with its accompanying 1U shelf. With an industry leading power density up to 27W per cubic inch, the new CAR2500 series is an unparalleled front end for systems requiring distributed power architecture solutions.
