[. . . ] 1. 3 power supply supporting IntelPentium 4 and AMD CPUs. Realizing a Noise-Free Computing Environment (CNPS) with Auto Control Cooling Fan By implementing heat-sensor circuitry that controls the cooling fan's speed (rpm) in relation to the temperature within the power supply, emanating noise has been greatly reduced. The graph below shows the CNPS characteristics of our product. CNPS (Computer Noise Prevention System) refers to a system that reduces a conventional computer's noise (30dB or more) to an inaudible level (20dB or less). In order to create a true noise-free computer, Zalman's NP CPU Cooler and NP Video Card, along with an NP HDD from popular manufacturers should be used together with this product. The above results show that the Zalman product operates in `Noiseless' or `Silent' level when the power supply's internal temperature is kept below 56 and those were obtained in compliance with the 2nd Revision of ISO7779, an international standard for noise level measurement. Results may vary for a different system configuration and/or the test environment. Complies with Intel ATX12V Ver. 1. 3 This is the latest product in our power supply line-up, designed to comply with Intel ATX12V Ver. 1. 3 S-ATA power connectors supporting S-ATA Ver. 1. 0 compliant hard disk drives are provided as standard. For information on how to use the S-ATA power connector with a S-ATA HDD, please refer to the output power cable diagram on page 5.

Conditions : Each DC output had a 0. 1 F ceramic capacitor and a 10 F electrolytic capacitor attached as the bypass and the oscilloscope (input impedance 1M ) measured the waveforms at 20MHz frequency bandwidth. The waveforms may differ with varying measurement conditions. *For more information on the product, please visit our website at www. zalman. co. kr. -3- 5.

In this rectifying circuit, a capacitor with a large capacitance is used to soften transient response and reduce ripple so that the switching regulator is not over-stressed. However, the peak charge of the capacitor becomes greater with greater capacitance, and this leads to non-linear bursts of peak over-current into the primary circuit. Such peaks of current distort output voltage, create harmonic frequencies, and reduce power factor. There is now an international standard for controlling harmonics (IEC100-3-2) and PFC is mandatory for home appliances consuming 70W or more power in EU nations as of January, 2001. This PFC circuit is largely classified into two types: active and passive. Comparing Active PFC and Passive PFC This uses a switching regulator technology called 'boost-up', using active elements such as IC, FET and diodes, to create a PFC circuit. [. . . ] Normally, the listed DC output ripple and noise (measured in voltage, in scales of mVp-p) is solely of the switching regulator and excludes that of the AC input. *For more information on the product, please visit our website at www. zalman. co. kr. -6- 6.
