4 FAQs about Base station power supply battery power supply logic

What is a 3G base station converter?

In a 3G Base Station application, two converters are used to provide the +27V distribution bus voltage during normal conditions and power outages.

What is a preferred power supply architecture for DSL applications?

A preferred power supply architecture for DSL applications is illustrated in Fig. 2. A push-pull converter is used to convert the 48V input voltage to +/-12V and to provide electrical isolation. Synchronous buck converters powered off of the +12V rail generate various low-voltage outputs.

What is a low profile power supply?

Low profile power supply design usually includes printed circuit board (planar) power transformers and output inductors and surface mount input and output capacitors. Multiple output power supplies are often implemented with a multi-output flyback converter.

What are hybrid isolated power supply topologies?

Competing with these new POL modules are hybrid isolated power supply topologies, such as the cascaded current-fed or voltage-fed push-pull converters. Semiconductor suppliers are enabling power supply system designers to embed low-cost compact isolated power supplies directly onto their motherboards and line cards.
