The WorldPower™ concept


World Power™
Standard solutions today are derating power performance as much as 50% to cover universal AC voltages. UPCON Technology is developing AC/DC solutions based on the idea that power performance should be independent on AC voltages - this is our WorldPower™ concept.

The Worldpower™ concept is based on the EWiRaC technology which handles large AC-voltage variations exceptionally well.

EWiRaC: Efficient Wide Range Converter


EWiRaC highlights

The EWiRaC topology effectively cuts the input voltage variation by a factor of 2 and enables down-conversion as well as up-conversion in one stage. This leads to:

  • Selectable output voltage
  • Continues input current - also in step down mode
  • Reduced boost inductor size - up to 50% reduction
  • Reduced semiconductor stresses
  • Inherent inrush control
  • Reduced HF capacitor currents


AC/DC Solutions for server and telecom applications

The WorldPower™ AC/DC solution platform from Upcon Technology will be available in Q4 2008. The Industry leading efficiency of 95%-96% over an operation range from 20%-80% load will have a significant impact on the operations cost of future server installations.
