BIAS POWER CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS REOCATES TO LARGER SPACE…SEES GROWTH
Buffalo Grove, IL based electronics manufacturer, Bias Power, has relocated to larger space for its headquarters operations. The facility houses executive offices, engineering, customer service and warehousing.
Bias Power manufactures highly efficient, low power AC-to-DC switching power supplies for commercial, industrial and consumer electronic equipment. The design of the products provides unique and distinctive advantages for AC Power Distribution Units, Smart Meters, lighting controls, wireless and power line communication, home automation and appliances.
Bias Power customers are manufacturers of various electrical and electronic devices which require DC power to operate. These manufacturers choose Bias Power products because they deliver quick-to-market benefits including: drop-in ease of use, high efficiency, wide operating temperature range, compact size, safety and regulatory approvals, global supply-voltage capability and CV/CP application flexibility.
According to the company’s president, John Muntean, “This is the second move for Bias and parallels the company’s growth. The new space will permit us to function more efficiently, enhance our customer service and better accommodate our continuing personnel additions.”
The new facility is located at 1330 Busch Parkway, Buffalo Grove, IL 60089. For more information, visit: BiasPower.com. Phone 847.215.BIAS (847.215.2427) Fax: +1 847.215.2914
WORLD’S SMALLEST SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY IS ALSO HIGHLY EFFICIENT
Designed for standby mode and other low-power supply applications, the new Bias Power BPS Series micro-size switching power supply allows designers to easily solve space and efficiency problems. Available in either ½ watt or 1 watt models, this new supply operates with nominal 75% efficiency. Up to 56% smaller than predecessor Bias models, it measures just 1” x 7/8” x 1/2”.
Applications for the BPS are widespread, including powering remote and networked sensors, power-line carrier, relay drivers, test equipment, IR receivers, building automation, audio, video, security, AC power adapters and bias supplies. It is ideal for standby mode applications in appliances and consumer electronics, providing power to system clocks, processors, IR remote receivers, membrane keypads and LED panel lighting. With a no-load power consumption of less than 30 mW, the BPS series efficiently handles the widest possible load variations.
The Bias Power BPS is based on a patented* circuit design, that so effectively eliminates line EMI that no input filtering is required. This is achieved by isolating the input path for the duration of the conducted noise. The circuit also maximizes conversion efficiency and effectively regulates output voltages, even over 85 to 265 VAC. Outputs of 8, 14 and 8 & 5 VDC are available. An attribute of the overall assembly is extremely rugged construction, making the BPS well suited for portable and harsh environment applications. The BPS is a ready-to-apply solution, so there’s no need to re-invent the wheel with larger home-grown switchers.
