1-kW supply now offers intelligent comm, measurement, control

The VPXtra1000CD-IQ dc/dc power supply offers the industry’s highest output of 1,000 W and now offers internal intelligence that supports communication, measurement, and control. It features dual-output power supplies, is Vita 62-compliant, and designed to power Open VPX modules. Its dual outputs offer 960 W of 12 Vdc and an auxiliary 3.3-Vdc output.

Standard features of the power supply include over-voltage, over-current, short-circuit, and thermal protection, and the 12-Vdc output can be paralleled for higher power and fail-safe redundancy. Its “IQ” capabilities include the ability to monitor and report all output voltages, output currents, input voltages, input currents, and temperatures. It also supports ANSI/VITA 46 signals for geographical addressing, NVMRO (Non-Volatile Memory Read Only), and SYSRESET. Other features include user-adjustable warning/fault levels for voltage, current and temperature, and inventory management information.
