1.4 Billion Digital Power Converters Projected

The portion of the power supply market that will employ some form of digital loop control is expected to grow at an average annual rate of about 45% for at least the next five years, according to recent analysis by Darnell Group. Digital power growth will be almost five times faster than the overall market. By 2013, the digital power converter market is projected to exceed 1.4 billion units.

“To put the market in perspective, the worldwide total available ac-dc power supply and dc-dc converter unit market is set to grow at an average rate of only about 10% between 2008 and 2013,” said Linnea Brush, senior analyst with Darnell. “This includes external and embedded ac-dc power supplies, along with isolated and non-isolated dc-dc converters. A market of 1.4 billion units is still less than half the total available market, so digital control will continue to grow rapidly over the next five years, and beyond,” Brush said.

Be sure to check your print and/or digital edition of this month’s Canadian Electronics magazine for the latest in power supply technology.

FEATURE PRODUCT

Fluke Precision Current Shunt Set

Fluke Corp. has introduced the A40B Precision Current Shunt Set, an array of precision devices designed to simplify the task of making precision current measurements in the laboratory. The set consists of 14 low-inductance coaxial current shunts, adapters and connectors, and a rugged transit/storage case. Designed for currents from 1mA to 100A, the current shunts are for laboratory use in making directly measured absolute ac or dc current measurements as well as ac/dc current transfer measurements. Users can make precision measurements in a single step process, rather than by more complex traditional ac/dc transfer methods.
