218W PC/104-Plus DC-DC Power Supplies

Diamond Systems Corporation announced the extension of its line of Jupiter-MM-5000 high-efficiency, high-precision family of dc-dc power supply modules. New intelligent members of this rugged power supply family offer up to 218W of +5Vdc, 12Vdc, and +3.3Vdc power in either the compact PC/104 form factor or PC/104-Plus form factor and an advanced system controller for complete software control of all power supply functions.

Jupiter-MM-5000 power supplies consist of a PC/104 form factor module with complete DC-DC voltage regulator circuitry, integrated thermal solution, detachable screw terminal block I/O connections, and PC/104 bus connectors. The wide input voltage range of 7- to 34-Vdc is compatible with industry standard 12V, 24V, and 28V inputs. The Jupiter-MM-5000 uses a state-of-the-art design with the latest generation high efficiency components. It delivers efficiency as high as 95 percent, reducing input power requirements as well as heat generation.

The intelligent Jupiter-5000 models include a system controller that offers advanced configuration, control, and monitoring features. The system controller is accessed via a USB port and is accompanied by benchtop configuration software as well as an application library for in-application real-time control. Individual supply on/off control for +12V, +5V, +5V standby, +3.3V, and +3.3V standby outputs Individual supply output voltage / current monitoring output voltage sequencing and slew rate control output voltage adjustment Input voltage monitoring Fault handling based on programmable limits with interrupt notification, including supply shutdown in case of overload or other programmed conditions Hiccup mode for auto-restart when fault conditions are removed Min / max voltage and temperature logging Secondary input cutover voltage selection

Jupiter-MM-5000 was engineered for rugged applications such as automotive or on-vehicle. Extended temperature operation of -40 to +85 degrees C is tested and guaranteed. Low-profile, surface mount components reduce susceptibility to shock and vibration. I/O connections are made with locking screw terminal blocks for the highest degree of ruggedness. The modules are compatible with MIL-STD-202G shock and vibration specifications.

The Jupiter-MM-5000 dc-dc power supply modules are orderable now and shipping in volume in April, 2016. Single unit pricing starts at US$225 for the +5Vdc PC/104 model. Additional models with complete software programmability will be available in Q1 2016.
