‘Smallest’ Ultrabook power adapters launched

Dialog has introduced a new family of 12 and 45W Ultrabook power adapters.

The devices are said to be less than one half the overall volume and approximately 50% thinner than competing solutions. The 12W design measures just 68 x 68 x 17mm thick, and has a typical charge time of under five hours. Both solutions support Intel Turbo Boost Technology with 82W peak power capability at 10% duty cycle for the 45W adapter and 2% for the 12W adapter. They also meet emerging global energy standards for lower standby power and higher light load and active average efficiency. The 45W design provides 90% active average efficiency and achieves <100mW no load standby power with fast standby recovery time. The 12W design provides 86% active average efficiency and achieves <50mW no load standby power with fast standby recovery time. Both designs maintain high efficiency at loads as light as 10%.
