The presentation compares three different power supply concepts on a practical example for a medical equipment requiring several output voltages.
The three different concepts are:
- Configurable/modular power supply with multiple outputs
- Use of separate unit type power supplies
- Distributed Power Architecture with one front-end power supply and DC/DC converters
The comparison is made on technical aspects like efficiency, leakage-current or EMC-performance as well as commercial aspects like availability, cost or required skills for integration.
For each aspect it also explains some background and what are the typical snares developers not always consider at the design-start.
