The Artesyn ATC210 bus converter generates intermediate bus voltages for ATCA systems. It has dual inputs, each capable of accommodating -36 to 72 V, and generates two independent, isolated DC outputs: 12 V at up to 17.5 A to power an on-card intermediate bus, plus a secondary output rated at 1.8 A and programmable from 3.13 to 3.47 V. With a 2.3 x 1.8 in. footprint, the unit occupies 20-40 percent less space than competitive solutions. Typical full load efficiency is 89 percent and power density is in excess of 60 W/in.³. While Aimed at ATCA systems, it is also useful in other space-constrained systems with distributed power architectures. The converter is equipped with I2C serial bus and direct high-speed interfaces for monitoring, reporting and digital programming of fault thresholds. Built-in power management functions include input O-ring, in-rush control and transient protection.
