Introduction
Connect Tech’s Xtreme/PSU-UC is a high efficiency, high powered PC/104 form factor power supply with extended
temperature capabilities. Xtreme/PSU-UC is a highly reliable power supply which provides 154W of total output power
with +5V, +3.3V, +12V, -12V and +5V-Standby output voltages. It can be used as a stand-alone power supply to
power any other embedded system, or used directly to power any PCI-104 stack or single board computer (SBC). The
Xtreme/PSU-UC has a wide input voltage range that accepts +9V to +36V DC and is specifically designed for use in a
broad range of rugged applications including military, industrial, and air and ground vehicles. Xtreme/PSU-UC can be
used in combination with Connect Tech’s stackable CPU and expansion boards for a total design solution.
In addition to the power supply capabilities, the Xtreme/PSU-UC also has the ability to charge, monitor and switch
from main supply to a backup SMART battery, providing transparent backup power to all voltage outputs. The
Xtreme/PSU-UC is a Level 2 SMART battery charger and works with all SMART batteries, supporting charge voltages
up to +16V and charging current up to 4A.
ESD Warning
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling any circuit
board assemblies including Connect Tech COM Express
carrier assemblies, it is recommended that ESD safety
precautions be observed. ESD safe best practices include,
but are not limited to:
Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging
until they are ready to be installed.
Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit
boards, at a minimum you should touch a grounded
metal object to dissipate any static charge that may
be present on you.
Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas,
which may include ESD floor and table mats, wrist
strap stations and ESD safe lab coats.
Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas.
Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding
contact with components.
