The Emerson Network Power IPM300 features an input voltage range of -36 V to -75 Vdc, suitable for both -48 Vdc and -60 Vdc power distribution. The module provides 3.3 Vdc and 5.0 Vdc isolated management power for housekeeping functions. In addition to providing the power management features required by PICMG(r) 3.0 specifications, the IPM300 has an auxiliary boost supply for charging external hold-up capacitors that is programmable from 50 Vdc to 95 Vdc. This enables designers to significantly reduce the external capacitance required to meet hold-up time in case of power feed loss, thereby saving valuable space and cost. A built-in I2C serial bus interface can be used for monitoring and reporting and features programmable alarm thresholds.
At 2.3 in x 1.45 in x 0.58 in (58.4 mm x 36.8 mm x 14.7 mm), the IPM300 features one of the smallest form factors available today. It has an estimated mean time between failures (MTBF) of more than one million hours and offers a wide ambient operating temperature range of minus 40 to plus 85 degrees Celsius, enabling reliable deployment in a variety of demanding environments. It is also fully RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant per EU directive 2002/95/EC, meets basic insulation requirements, and is certified with international safety and performance standards, including EN60950-1 TUV and UL/cUL 60950-1.
