Essential Building Blocks for ATCA/MicroTCA Applications
CEN-MPWR™ MicroTCA Power Module
CEN-MPWRâ„¢ MicroTCA Power ModuleCorEdge Networks’ CEN-MPWR™ is a high current density, hot-swappable, and intelligent MicroTCA Power Module (PM). It accepts and conditions system input power, converts it to the appropriate levels, and radially feeds the power to MicroTCA shelf elements with channel-by-channel power control. The CEN-MPWR™ provides the specified +3.3VDC and +12VDC management and payload power for up to twelve Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs), two Cooling Units (CUs), and two MicroTCA Carrier Hubs (MCH). The flexible and efficient architecture of the CEN-MPWR™ enables multiple input power options at high current densities (up to 50 amps on the +12V load power) in a 6HP form factor. It is an ideal solution for any type of MicroTCA application including 3G wireless equipment, WiMAX base stations, embedded computing systems, etc.
