4 FAQs about What is the voltage of the base station s external power supply

What is a 3G base station converter?

In a 3G Base Station application, two converters are used to provide the +27V distribution bus voltage during normal conditions and power outages.

What voltage does a DSL power system supply?

The DSL power system may supply both higher voltage analog line drivers and amplifiers (typ. +/-12V) and several low voltage supplies required by the digital ASIC (+5V, +3.3V, +1.8V, +1.5V).

How much power does a PSU need?

This is when the PSU is no longer powering the PA, which is the main power draw, but still needs to power other electronics. The current target for low-load efficiency is about 30 W. Some OEMs would like to see that drop to nearly 10 W.

What is a preferred power supply architecture for DSL applications?

A preferred power supply architecture for DSL applications is illustrated in Fig. 2. A push-pull converter is used to convert the 48V input voltage to +/-12V and to provide electrical isolation. Synchronous buck converters powered off of the +12V rail generate various low-voltage outputs.
