Advanced Energy Introduces Integrated AC-DC Power Supplies for Medical Applications
Advanced Energy Unveils FlexiCharge FC2500: All-in-One Power Solution for Next-Generation Medical Lasers and Electrosurgery
BonChip Electronics, a premier distributor of Advanced Energy's innovative power conversion solutions, is excited to announce the release of the FlexiCharge FC2500. This groundbreaking platform simplifies and accelerates the design process for medical laser systems and electrosurgery applications, including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy and Pulsed Magnetic (PM) Therapy.
Revolutionizing Medical Laser and Electrosurgery Design
The FlexiCharge FC2500 addresses a critical challenge in medical device design:
- Streamlined Power Management: Advanced Energy is the first company to offer a single, integrated platform that provides both high-voltage capacitor charging and multiple low-voltage AC-DC power outputs. Traditionally, separate power supplies were required for these functions, increasing complexity and system size.
Enhanced Performance and Efficiency
The FC2500 delivers exceptional performance benefits:
- High-Voltage Capacitor Charging: Supports capacitor charging up to 2.5 kJ, ideal for high-power pulsed applications.
- Multiple Low-Voltage AC-DC Outputs: Delivers up to 800W of low-voltage AC-DC power to support various system electronics, including touch panels, pumps, cooling elements, and treatment devices.
- Faster Charging and Shorter Treatment Times: Enables efficient charging at lower voltages, leading to faster charging cycles and reduced treatment times.
- Increased Patient Throughput: Faster charging translates to the ability to treat more patients per day, improving clinic efficiency.
Reduced Design Complexity and Size
The FC2500 offers significant design advantages:
- Simplified System Design: By integrating high-voltage charging and system power into a single platform, the FC2500 reduces development time and complexity.
- Compact Footprint: Reduces overall system size and weight by up to 30% compared to traditional solutions using separate power supplies.
- Enhanced Safety and Compliance: Simplifies compliance with safety and EMI standards by utilizing a single, integrated power source.
Advanced Features for Faster Time-to-Market
The FC2500 empowers medical device manufacturers with advanced functionalities:
- Configurable Outputs and Charge Voltages: Provides flexibility to configure outputs and charge voltages based on specific application needs.
- Series and Parallel Output Connection: Allows connecting outputs in series or parallel for applications requiring higher voltages and currents.
- Intelligent Digital Control (PMBus): Offers intelligent analog and digital control via PMBus with user-friendly "set and forget" features and storage capabilities. This streamlines system programming and simplifies field maintenance, leading to faster time-to-market and improved long-term system reliability.
Medical Device Innovation through Advanced Power Solutions
"The FlexiCharge FC2500 underscores our commitment to developing innovative solutions that meet the evolving power and performance demands of medical laser, IPL, and pulsed power systems," said Shrinidhi Chandrasekharan, senior vice president of medical products at Advanced Energy. "This all-in-one platform empowers medical device manufacturers to accelerate time-to-market and deliver next-generation technologies that improve patient care."
The FC2500 is compliant with IEC60601-1 (3rd edition) and IEC60601-1-2 (4th edition) safety standards.
