Description
The VPX018 is an Electronic Load module in a 3U VPX form factor and can draw power from +12V, +5V, +3.3V, +12_AUX, -12_AUX as well as the +3.3V_AUX. Module can load each of the input rails with 1W resolution per rail on +12V, +5V, +3.3V, +12V_AUX and -12V_AUX. The +3.3V_AUX has a resolution of 100mW. The maximum power draw on each rail is as follows:
- +12V 120W
- +5V 70W
- +3.3V 50W
- +12V_AUX 10W
- -12V_AUX 5W
- +3.3_AUX 3W
The VPX018 has a GbE and an RS-232 for external interface. The module can simulate any dynamic load based on the user requirement on any of the rails. The GUI interface thru the GbE allows ease of operation as well as the user uploading of predefined dynamic load (Time vs. watts per voltage rail and/or time vs. current per voltage rail).
The VPX018 has an option to allow loop back on the high-speed TX/RX on the P1 and P2 connector for test and validation. The VPX018 P1 and P2 connectors utilizes high speed >25Gbaud rugged VPX connectors.
The on-board CPU draws power from the +3.3V_AUX only. The VPX018 supports health management per VITA 46.11 Tier Two support.
