Murata has products for data centre applications

Murata has launched two new products designed to improve power conversion efficiency in large data centre environments.

The complementary devices are a 5kW PFC converter with 3phase AC input and a matching high input voltage 1,200W DC/DC converter. The PFC converter, the MPA9535, operates from a high-line 3phase 480 VAC input and provides a 380 VDC output. The converter ensures that the power factor correction is as close as possible to unity thus ensuring that efficiency is as high as possible. Typical power conversion efficiency of the MPA9535 is up to 96%. The matching MPA9512 DC/DC converter is fed directly from the MPA9535 and has two DC outputs. The main output is 12.12 VDC and a standby +5 VDC output is also provided. This stage of power conversion achieves a typical efficiency of 95.2%.
