Puma™ 300, 600 or 900
MicroTCA™ AC Power Module
The Puma 300, 600 and 900 µTCA Power Modules are MicroTCA.0 R1.0 specification compliant. All versions of the Puma are Full-Size /Single-Width form factor modules which are fully enclosed for electrical protection. Each unit provides 16 pairs of management power and payload power outputs that are digitally monitored for over or under voltage and over current.
Puma power modules provide full monitoring capability with only SMP (Standby Mgmt Power) so input and output voltage monitoring is possible without input power.
The design is based on a state of the art FPGA and advanced technologies for energy management and remote monitoring, diagnostics, software updating and reconfiguration. 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 one PM powers about the half the loads on a per channel basis and the other PM powers the rest of the loads.
Payload power channels can have 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 power consumption history of each component of the system.
Hot swappable and fully redundant operation coupled with extremely high efficiency and wide temperature range operation make Puma power modules ideally suited for all air cooled MicroTCA™ applications.
