CPCI Power Supply General
Page 3
1. Overview
Kontron’s power supply unit family
includes both AC and DC input power
devices with up to 12HP front panels
and 3U in height. The devices are pro-
vided with P-series or DIN M-series out-
put connectors.
The power supply units can be provided
for an output power range of 75 W to
200 W for AC/DC power supply units
and 75 W to 200 W for DC/DC power
supply units with output voltages of
+ 3.3 V, + 5.1 V, and either + 12 V or
±12V.
2. Distinctive Features
The CompactPCI power supplies can
be distinguished according to the follow-
ing distinctive features:
• Form factor (height)
• Front panel dimensions
• Mechanics
• Plug-in compatibility
• Input voltages
• Voltage switching
(AC devices)
• Output power
• Output voltages and currents
• Power supply connector
• Cooling
• Redundant supply capability
• Status indication
• Special features:
Ultra wide input range
Hold-up time > 10ms
EN 50155 compliant
Terminology
Power supply units can be grouped
either according to their form factor: 3U
and up to 12HP where the P-series is
8HP (4.064 cm or 1.6 inch) and the M-
series is 12HP (6.96 cm or 2.4 inch) or
input voltage (alternating current, direct
current).
Input Voltages
Power supply units running on AC input
power are provided with a switching fea-
ture to choose among common US
(Japan) and European AC voltage
ranges. For the sake of understanding
these voltage ranges can be indicated
as the two rated voltages:
•V
US
= 110 V
•V
EU
= 230 V
Voltage Switching
Depending on the power supply unit, the
V
EU
/V
US
switching is accomplished
automatically (”autoranging”) or manu-
ally.
Output Voltages
The common output voltages are
referred to as follows:
• V1 = +5.1 V
• V2 = +3.3 V
• V3 = +12 V
• V4 = -12 V
