Uninterrupted Power: UPS Solutions from EBV
Ensuring continuous, high-quality power for critical applications with advanced Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) solutions, in partnership with onsemi.
Understanding Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
UPS systems protect connected equipment from power problems like voltage sags, spikes, and outages, preventing data loss and equipment damage. They ensure a stable power supply and provide battery backup during interruptions.
Key UPS Types:
Online UPS
Provides continuous, seamless power via double conversion. Highest reliability, ideal for sensitive devices and data centers. Most expensive due to high efficiency demands.
Line-Interactive UPS
Similar to offline but includes an active voltage conditioner for stable output. Suitable for small to medium businesses where mains voltage quality is unreliable.
Offline UPS
Directly powers the load, with backup activated only on source failure. Lowest cost, minimal features, and a short switching delay. Best for homes and small offices.
UPS Market Information & Trends
The UPS market is experiencing significant growth, driven by global digital transformation and increasing demand for reliable power. Key trends shaping the future of UPS include:
Modular UPS Systems
Growing demand for modular designs due to benefits like scalability, redundancy, adaptability, lower repair costs, space savings, and enhanced fault isolation. Ideal for flexible power solutions.
Higher Power Density & Efficiency
Next-generation UPS products are moving towards more compact physical dimensions with increased output capability. Efficiency improvement is paramount, especially under light load conditions, driven by sustainability goals.
Advanced Battery Systems
Batteries and Battery Management Systems (BMS) are critical. While lead-acid batteries are reliable and cost-effective, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries offer significantly higher power density, smaller size, lighter weight, and improved reliability with integrated monitoring, providing longer backup power.
Core Technologies for Advanced UPS Systems
EBV Elektronik partners with onsemi to provide cutting-edge semiconductor solutions essential for high-performance UPS designs:
Silicon Carbide (SiC) Devices
SiC MOSFETs and Diodes offer superior efficiency, especially in high-power and high-frequency applications, by reducing switching losses and improving power density. SiC JFETs are also ideal for static switches, enhancing performance and reliability.
Power Integrated Modules (PIMs)
onsemi's PIMs integrate SiC MOSFET and IGBT technologies, simplifying UPS design (PFC, DC/DC, Inverter stages). They offer excellent electrical and thermal performance, higher power density, and reduced passive component size.
Advanced Gate Drivers
Dedicated gate drivers provide precise control for power devices (MOSFETs, IGBTs, SiC). They ensure quick turn-on/off, minimize switching losses, and offer critical protection features like UVLO and Desaturation detection, enhancing system reliability.
Power Management Products
A range of solutions including PFC controllers (e.g., Totem-Pole), LDOs for stable low-voltage supply, and ESD protection diodes for robust system-level safety, ensuring reliable operation of the entire UPS system.
