MPC-HSS

Descriptions

The MPC-HSS is a replacement unit for the MPC12R, a hot-swapable redundant power

supply is a highly compact series of 78 watt multiple output modules specifically

designed for mini-modulator application that require ultra-reliable DC input supply. This

series combines an advanced forward converter topology use of extensive surface mount

technology to achieve excellent power density. Sophisticated packaging and filtering

techniques are utilized thus minimizing the need for overall system filtering. The

MPC12R employs current sharing and redundant power supply design to equally share

loads between the supplies and minimize the potential for power bus glitches after a

power supply has failed, thereby improving the longevity of the power supply.Automated

manufacturing process and value engineering ensure an outstanding level of quality,

timely delivery and competitive cost.This type of power supply design eliminates down

time forever. Pico Macom, Inc. backs the product with a five-year limited warranty.

dual supply operation, which

allows for hot insertion or

removal of the power supply

modules without powering down

the system

High efficiency >75% redundant

power supplies guarantees zero

down time

Home run DC cables allow removal

of individual modules without

disabling the entire system

High isolation ORing diodes (block-

ing diodes) provide short circuit

protection to the power supply by

preventing a failed supply from

causing a general system shut

down in a fault condition and also

preventing the output capacitors

of a hot inserted power supply

from draining power from the

power bus causing disturbance

Current sharing and redundant

design ensures increases in the

total amount of available load

current by providing de-ration for

the individual supplies thereby

improving their long-term reliability
