Advantages of power module instead of switching power supply
1. Small size. Because the power module is also a kind of switching power supply, but it uses more integrated PCB boards and components, coupled with reasonable layout and design, it has a great advantage in volume, which may effectively reduce the volume of developed products .
2. Each module can be strictly tested separately to ensure its high reliability, including power-on test to eliminate substandard products. In contrast, integrated solutions are more difficult to test because the entire power supply system is closely linked with other functional systems on the circuit. Each power module has also undergone strict high-temperature testing and aging, and the product performance is stable.
3. Different suppliers can design modules of the same size according to existing technical standards, providing engineers who design power supplies with a variety of different options. That is, you can change the pin name, volume, shape, etc. of the product according to your product characteristics, so as to meet the needs of customers to a greater extent.
4. Compared with switching power supply, the power module has higher efficiency and can effectively reduce energy consumption. Efficient conversion and make the target product more competitive. It is also more in line with the energy-saving development requirements of current environmental protection products.
5. The design and testing of each module is carried out in accordance with the standard performance requirements, which helps to reduce the risks borne by the adoption of new technologies.
6. Easy to use and high maintenance efficiency. If an integrated solution is adopted, once a problem occurs in the power supply system, the entire motherboard needs to be replaced; if a modular design is adopted, only the faulty module can be replaced, which helps to save costs and development time.
7. The power module products are generally encapsulated with glue, and the products are not easily affected by the outside world, such as smoke, vibration, etc. Better adapt to different usage environments.
