FSP provides this platform with a contemporary design. It has an APFC, a half-bridge, and an LLC resonant converter on the primary side. On the secondary side, a synchronous rectification scheme is used for 12V, and a pair of DC-DC converters generate the minor rails. The PCB’s primary side, close to the APFC converter and the primary FETs, is a bit dense with parts, while the secondary side is looser, allowing for better airflow. Please note that I have removed the bulk caps in the photos above to have a better view of the internals.
The transient filtering stage has all the necessary parts to block incoming and outgoing EMI emissions. Typically, it starts at the AC receptacle and continues on the main PCB.
The NTC thermistor’s resistance looks low, but we will determine whether this is true with current inrush measurements. A bypass relay supports the NTC thermistor.
The bridge rectifiers are two parallel GBJ25V08, which can handle up to 25A each, for a total of 50A.
The APFC converter uses two Magnachip FETs and an ROHM boost diode. The bulk caps are by Elite and offer a combined capacity of 540uF. They are rated for 3,000 h at 105 °C, so they are superb on paper. Elite caps are good, equivalent to Japanese brands at a lower cost.
The APFC controller is a Champion CM6500UNX.
Infineon’s two main switching FETs are installed in a half-bridge topology, and an LLC resonant converter is used for higher efficiency. The resonant controller is a Champion CM6901X.
The main transformer is next to the resonant tank and capacitive parts of the LLC resonant converter.
Four Nexperia PSMN1R4-40YLD FETs regulate the 12V rail. They are installed on the solder side of the main PCB, and four heat sinks above them keep operating temperatures under control.
Two DC-DC converters generate the minor rails.
The PSU combines Elite electrolytic, Apaq, CapXon, and Elite polymer caps. The electrolytic caps are mainly for energy storage to cope with transient loads, while the polymer ones are for ripple filtering.
You can find more information about capacitor performance and other specs below:
The supervisor controller is a Weltrend WT7527RA. There is no photo of it, sorry.
The standby PWM controller is an MPS MP9989. The rectifier on the high side is a CET CEF03N8.
Several polymer and electrolytic caps at the face of the modular panel form an extra ripple-filtering layer.
The soldering quality is good.
The cooling fan is a Pure Wings 3 model that uses a Rifle bearing to last long.
Good day Aris,
Sorry to bother you, but I need some help choosing a PSU. After reviewing all the information on your website, I am still unsure which one to go for—the RM750x or the Power Zone 2 750W from Be Quiet!. My main concern is the PSU mounting in my PC case, which is side-mounted at the top corner. With the RM750x, the power cord connector placement means that if I face the fan inside the case, it could affect airflow. If I face the fan outside, the power cord would have to bend awkwardly.
On the other hand, the Power Zone 2 seems like it would fit better with the fan facing outside, avoiding the bent cable issue. Given these constraints, what would you suggest in this situation?
Thank you for your time and help.
The alternative could also be FSP Vita GM 750w but I am not sure which one would be better.
Aris Did all internal power supply components required for tearing down for a documentation or just some sample you did it for a tearing down, because some cybenetics doesn’t have internal info like a Bulk caps, MOSFET, IC, switcher, etc
If you ask whether all Cyben reports have part analysis, unfortunately, not for older samples. But for newer ones we try to have them on all.
