Actual Size
Bias Power AC/DC power supplies are designed to be
applied in two major categories of applications…
Auxiliary, where the Bias supply is one of two or more sup-
plies and provides power for standby, housekeeping, bias-
ing or other requirements. Generally, these supply 3.3V or
5.0V requirements from the Vr output. In some cases a
small amount of Vo power is used.
Second is as a main or utility supply where Bias is the only
supply and provides all power necessary for the product or
system. Both Vr and Vo supplies are often utilized for opti-
mum system performance.
The characteristics of the Vo and Vr outputs are different
and each has application-specific benefits which can pro-
vide high value to the system designer.
Vo is a voltage-regulated output which has a constant
power mode instead of a conventional current limit. This
output is best suited to drive mechanical relays, solenoids,
SSRs, capacitive loads, indicating lights, LEDs and as a
source for isolated DC utility power which may be used
directly or post-regulated with either a linear regulator or a
DC/DC converter. Vo is self protecting, cannot be over-
loaded and can be shorted indefinitely. The graceful transi-
tion from voltage regulation to constant power along with
the wide range of product ratings, allows the designer to
select a supply tightly matched to the design load. There is
no need to oversize a Bias Power supply. Unlike design-
your-own, or partially complete modules where significant
design margin is required, to stay far away from current
limit, Bias’s constant power alternative requires no such
over-spec’ing.
Vr is also a voltage-regulated output and is thermally pro-
tected from overload. It has very low output ripple capable
of driving microprocessors , logic, transceivers, sensors and
other elements which require a low-noise, tightly-regulated
supply. In addition, Vr is supplied internally by Vo. This
means that any capacitance added to Vo can increase the
hold-up time of Vr as well.
*Note: maximum currents specified for constant voltage
range only. See V-I curve on page 2 for Vo in constant
power range.
