Digital Power Corporation Announces its New MicroTCA 600 Watt AC Product
Digital
Power (NYSE/Amex: DPW) announces the release of its new MicroTCA 600
watt AC product, the PS-1138, an AC-DC, double–width, full-size (6 HP)
MicroTCA compliant power module. The
Digital Power PS-1138 is a high-power AC module designed for use in any
MicroTCA enclosure. It serves as the interface between its MicroTCA
system and the system power source. The PS-1138 supports shelves, cubes,
and other implementations, and complies with the PICMG MicroTCA.0
Revision 1.0 specification.
• 600 W output power
• 16 channels of 12 V @ 7.6 A; 16 channels of 3.3 V @ 150 mA
• Hot swappable and N+1 output redundancy
• Monitors and reports power system status
• Manages and isolates faults affecting the power system
• Provides protection against overload, short circuit, over voltage, and over temperature
• Provides power necessary for MCH and CU system elements on system bring-up
• Supports redundant IPMI (IPMB-0) communication with the MCH/carrier-manager
• Enables and provides power to AMCs, CUs, and additional MCHs
• Includes an Enhanced Module Management Controller Using two IPMBs (IPMB-A and IPMB-B)
• Meets Class B conducted emission standards
• Compliant with MicroTCA chassis standard
The
PS-1138 accepts and conditions input power and provides functionality
for powering, managing, protecting against faults, and limiting power
consumptions of a MicroTCA system. The unit includes 12 AdvancedMCs, 2
carrier hubs (MCHs) to control and manage power, and 2 cooling units
(CUs).
Rated
at 600 W of output power, the PS-1138 supports fully populated MicroTCA
systems, implements power conversion functionality, and provides 16
pairs of payload power outputs. It also features power management
features to monitor and manage over/under voltage and over current. The
PS-1138 power modules support advanced energy management, monitoring and
diagnostic functionality, software updating, and reconfiguration. Each
payload output channel can be programmed individually for current limit
with load specific values and configured as a primary, backup, or
disabled channel.
Hot
swappable and fully redundant operation coupled with extremely high
efficiency and a wide operating temperature range make Digital Power
MicroTCA PS-1138 power modules ideally suited for almost any MicroTCA
application.
Key features of the PS-1138 include the following:
• 600 W output power
• 16 channels of 12 V @ 7.6 A; 16 channels of 3.3 V @ 150 mA
• Hot swappable and N+1 output redundancy
• Monitors and reports power system status
• Manages and isolates faults affecting the power system
• Provides protection against overload, short circuit, over voltage, and over temperature
• Provides power necessary for MCH and CU system elements on system bring-up
• Supports redundant IPMI (IPMB-0) communication with the MCH/carrier-manager
• Enables and provides power to AMCs, CUs, and additional MCHs
• Includes an Enhanced Module Management Controller Using two IPMBs (IPMB-A and IPMB-B)
• Meets Class B conducted emission standards
• Compliant with MicroTCA chassis standard
