Now that's one small power supply!

  • Article

I noticed on Sunday that a company called mini-box is now selling a product called "picoPSU-120". I'll have to tell you - this thing really has me thinking about embedded systems and just how small they *could* get. :) They're touting it as the "World's tiniest 12V DC-DC ATX power supply".

This PSU is barely bigger than the ATX connector it is mounted to. The only issue I could forsee with this component is the fact that the circuitry is exposed; however, with the proper installation/mounting/etc any prying hands can be kept from touching it. As I am a parent who now has to cover his electrical sockets with those plastic covers that item is of particular concern to me. :)

Anyhow - if you'd like to find out more information about this component checkout the picoPSU homepage.
