Description
The CAR1812FP series of rectifiers provide highly efficient isolated power from worldwide input mains in a compact
1U industry standard form factor in an unprecedented power density of 21.7W/in 3 . These rectifiers are ideal for
datacom applications such as enterprise networking, mid to high-end servers, and storage equipment, where mid to
light load efficiency is of key importance given the nature of the power consumption of the end application.
The high-density, front-to-back airflow is designed for minimal space utilization and is highly expandable for future
growth. The industry standard PMBus compliant I 2 C communications buss offers a full range of control and
monitoring capabilities. The SMBAlert signal pin alerts customers automatically of any state change within the power
supply.
