PACKED INDUSTRIAL PC with 8th and 9th Generation INTEL CORE and XEON E
Processor amilies
The PIP4x is a low power, high performance and rugged industrial embedded computer. It can be operated in
standard or even in harsh environment. The PIP4x has been designed for 24/7 operation and uses extended
lifec cle series processors. It can be used for an PC application where a complete solution is needed. The
Open-Frame variant is particularl suitable during the customer evaluation phase or for seamless integration
into customers project. The PIP4x offers up to 3 displa s simultaneousl , USB and legac I/O, NVMe mass
storage, PCI Express x16 (Gen3), ECC protected s stem memor , TPM 2.0 and Intel AMT support.
Furthermore, various extensions can be provided, such as MXM graphic cards, serial buses and even
customized circuits. The PIP4x has the option to be batter powered to prevent power failures in safet -relevant
environments or working as a mobile device.

2.3 POWER
2.3.1 POWER INPUT
Item Specifications
Input Voltage •10-36 V
Inrush Current The inrush current depends on parameters that are not onl PIP4x specific, like:
•Power suppl internal resistance
•Power suppl voltage rise time and voltage value
•Power cable impedance
Power Up Current •Up to 10A@12V, 5A@24V
Protection Circuits •ESD
•Reverse Polarit
•Over Voltage (60V stead state, IEC 801-4 Level 5)
•Surge, Burst
Recommended
Power Suppl
•24VDC/10A (PIP49R/46R)
•12VDC/10A (PIP41/PIP44R)
When Turbo is enabled, the power transients can be very high. A standard equipped 45W TDP
processor system requires at least 100W of power. Recommended power supply for 45W TDP
processor systems is 24VDC/10A and a 12VDC/10A for 25W TDP systems.
2.3.2 Internal 12V Buck-Boost Converter (Peripheral Power, CPU, Chipset)
The information given below refers to the power which ma be obtained from the connector 12V Peripheral
(J34). The CPU consumption is alread considered. Please note that ever connected
peripheral(PCIe/m.2/USB/PCIe) will decrease the power budget available on 12V Peripheral (J34).

3.5 Connector Description
3.5.1 Power Connector (J3)
The power input connector counterpart is: Phoenix Contact AG, PSC 1,5/3-F with a SCT-D-SUB 9-KG case.

Please use AWG16 wire or comparable
PWR/IGN#: This pin is pulled to internal 3V3 (2mA current source). If pulled down a “power button” event is
emitted. When pulled down for more than 4 seconds a “power button overwrite” event is emitted which
immediatel removes the power from CPU. If pulled to a voltage which is higher than 4.8V a “ignition” situation
is detected. In ignition situation the PIP4x will power the CPU while the signal is pulled over 4.3V and initiate
power down sequence if the signal falls below this threshold b emitting power button events to the chipset.
3.5.2 Alternative Power Connector (J1/J2 (horizontal/vertical))
The counterpart for the 4-pin input connector is: Phoenix Contact AG, MC1,5/4STF-3,81.
