Panther™ 760 & 380 - MicroTCA™ Power Module
The Panther 760 and 380 power modules, compliant with the MicroTCA spec, are Full-Size/Single-Width form factor and fully enclosed for electrical protection. The design is based on state of the art FPGA and advanced technologies for energy management and remote monitoring, diagnostics, software updating and reconfiguration.
Panther power modules provide full monitoring capability with only SMP (Standby Mgmt Power) so input cable detection and input and output voltage monitoring is possible without input power.
Each unit provides 16 pairs of management power and payload power outputs that are digitally monitored for over or under voltage and over current. Each output channel is individually configurable as primary, backup or disabled. This provides the µTCA form of shared power, i.e. redundant power modules can be configured so that they each power about the half the load on a per channel basis.
Payload power channels can be individually programmed current limits with load specific values. This enables improved MTBFs of the power system, more tightly managed power budgeting and the ability to determine an accurate history power consumption of each component of the system.
Hot swappable and fully redundant operation coupled with extremely high efficiency and wide temperature range operation make Panther power modules ideally suited for all air cooled MicroTCA™ applications.
