Two new CompactPCI power units use patented technology to deliver very high output current densities and have many features designed to support hot-swap redundant applications

Amplicon has recently introduced two new CompactPCI power units to its already comprehensive range Designed in 3U high x 8HP wide chassis, both units use Power-One's patented Efficient Dual Geometric Edge (EDGE) technology

This technology allows very high output current densities, offering 5Vdc or 3.3Vdc at 40amps on the main rails plus a further +12Vdc at 5.5amps and -12Vdc at 1.5amps.

The units are available with a Power Factor Corrected universal input (type CPA) or a dc/dc input of 36-75Vdc (type CPD).

With an efficiency of over 80%, the supplies have many features designed to support hot-swap redundant applications.

Connections to the host chassis are via a standard Positronic 47-pin connector.

The front panel has both input and output voltage status LED's, and interface signals include inhibit, power fail and temperature warning.

The 5Vdc, 3.3Vdc and +12Vdc rails all have remote sense, current sharing facilities and are fitted with the FET equivalents of ORing diodes.

All units operate from 0 to 50*C with 250LFM of cooling air.

The CPA/CPD CompactPCI units meet CE for LVD, and EMC standards, and a 6U version will shortly be available for those users of the larger chassis.
