Power Management Features
-Support both ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface).
-ACPI v2.0 compliant
-Hardware automatic wake-up
Power Requirements
Your system requires a clean, steady power source for reliable performance of the high frequency CPU on the
product, the quality of the power supply is even more important. For the best performance makes sure your
power supply provides a range of 12 V minimum to 24 V maximum DC power source.
◆Power Consumption
For typical configurations, the CPU card is designed to operate with at least a 60W power supply. The power
supply must meet the following requirements:
-Rise time for power supply: 2 ms - 30ms
The following table lists the power supply’s tolerances for DC voltages:
