3U VPX embedded computing power supply for aerospace and defense introduced by X-ES

MIDDLETON, Wis., 15 Nov. 2013. Extreme Engineering Solutions Inc. (X-ES) in Middleton, Wis., is introducing the XPm2220 3U VPX-REDI (VITA 62) embedded computing power supply for aerospace and defense applications.

The XPm2220 power supply can help systems designers reduce size, weight and power (SWaP), as well as the cost, and complexity of VPX-based systems, X-ES officials say. The power electronics module offers output power and efficiency.

It also provides internal EMI filtering, direct support for a wide input voltage range, and fits within one 0.8-inch or 1-inch pitch 3U VPX slot.

The XPm2220 provides as much as 300 Watts of total combined output power at 90 percent efficiency, and it can be paired with another XPm2220 for load sharing and redundancy.

One XPm2220 can support as much as 25 amps on 12 volts, 2 amps on -12 volts, 40 amps on 5 volts, 20 amps on 3.3 volts, and 4 amps on 3.3 volts auxiliary.

The XPm2220 also provides more than 500 volts of galvanic isolation between its input and output voltages and can be connected to a 28-volt DC MIL-STD-704 or MIL-STD-1275 input without additional clamping or suppression.

Internal MIL-STD-461 EMI filtering enables the XPm2220 to eliminate the potential need for additional system-level power filtering within a deployed chassis.

The XPm2220 also includes an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) controller for monitoring input and output voltage, as well as board temperature, through the VITA 46 system management I2C interface.
