Power Supply Card for Embedded Systems in Aircraft and Ground Vehicles
A rugged DC/DC converter card is designed for extended temperature operation (-40° to +85°C),
high shock and vibration levels, and demanding voltage transient conditions experienced by
military ground vehicles (MIL-STD-1275D) and aircraft (MIL-STD-704F) platforms, including
250V spikes and 100V surges. The ACS-5180 from Parvus is a stand-alone card and can be
integrated into DuraCOR mission computers and DuraNET routers and switch subsystems.
Featuring robust voltage input protections and onboard MIL-STD-461 EMI filtering, the card
will typically eliminate the need for additional in-line power conditioning/EMI filtering
integrated into such embedded systems.
With a rugged mechanical design, this small form factor card is designed as the bottom card in a
PC/104 system stack to operate without heatsinking or any active cooling and provide resistance
to high levels of shock and vibration. This highly efficient, galvanically isolated power supply
can supply 80 watts of power in military / civil ground vehicle, shipboard and aircraft
applications over the PC/104 (ISA) bus, PC/104-Plus (PCI) bus, or screw clamp terminal.
Key Features include a voltage input of 28.0 VDC, voltage outputs up to 80 watts at +5V@ 16A;
+12V@ 2A and +3-3V@8A. Power input protection includes reverse polarity, voltage transient,
surge, spike, over current and1500V galvanic isolation DC. Power output protection includes
filtered output, current fold-back plus remote shutdown support and status indication. Formal
qualification compliance testing is in process for MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-1275D, MIL-STD704F, MIL-STD-461E.
