Custom Fan Speed Control – Telecom Cooling Application

Telecom Cooling Design using 12V 4-Wire fans.
This telecom cooling application required providing 12 Amps of regulated 12V power from a 36-72V source in a small compact package with maximum component height of less than .875 inches. As a single or dual regulator design was not possible in such a low profile, six individual 2A regulators, one for each fan, were developed to fit into the fan speed control design constraints.
CRI’s ISO 9001:2008 registered electronic design and manufacturing facilities have the capability to provide complete custom fan speed control design for telecom cooling applications from prototype to production.
