Introduction
Features
1
The EPM-PS1 is a DC switching power supply designed for high reliability in a wide variety of
applications. The rugged design is conservatively rated to provide continuous 50 watt power
output. When designing stacking PC/104-Plus compatible systems, OEMs and system integrators
are able to develop entire systems using VersaLogic CPUs, I/O expansion modules and power
supplies. Its features include:
PC/104-Plus compliant footprint.
Transient voltage suppression
provides enhanced ESD protection.
Protected against output over-
current, input over-current, and
input polarity reversal.
Engineered to minimize heat
generation with 91% peak
efficiency.
Designed to provide -40° to +85°C
operation for reliable use in harsh
environments.
All EPM-PS1 boards are subjected to functional testing and are backed by a limited two-year
warranty. Careful parts sourcing and US-based technical support ensure the highest possible
quality, reliability, service and product longevity for this exceptional PC/104-Plus module.
Full compliance with EU Directive
2002/95/EC (RoHS) for devices used in
Europe.
Power is supplied into the PC/104-Plus
(PCI) and PC/104 (ISA) buses or can be
accessed from the screw clamp terminal
blocks.
Each voltage output can be enabled or
disabled with an external input signal.
