EXTERNAL ADAPTERS RESOURCE KIT
Learn how to future‑proof your design by selecting the right power adapter
External Adapter Papers to Keep You in Compliance
The legislation surrounding external power supplies has rapidly evolved over the past decade. This makes the job of design engineers and purchasing managers more difficult, as they must select a power adapter that will ensure their products are in compliance in each region where they are sold. CUI's external adapter resource kit examines the impending IEC 62368-1 standard, new and proposed efficiency laws across the globe, and other important safety requirements. Featuring three popular application notes, the kit helps you select the optimal adapter solution to ensure your design is in compliance now and into the future.
This Resource Kit Includes:
IEC 62368-1: An Introduction to the New Safety Standard for ICT and AV Equipment
The new IEC 62368-1 standard introduces a different, hazard-based philosophy to product testing in North America and the EU. This paper discusses what this means for product certification and how OEMs can best manage the transition.
Efficiency Standards for External Power Supplies
This whitepaper covers a history of the regulations dictating average efficiency and no-load power draw limits, the status of current and pending global regulations, performance thresholds separated by standard and device rating, and the efficiency standard landscape looking forward.
Power Supply Safety Standards, Agencies, and Marks
Understanding the complexities and subtle differences between various standards and marking schemes around the world can be daunting. This whitepaper aims to identify the major standards that relate to power supply safety, the agencies that administer them, and the marking schemes that can be used to show compliance.
