Jupiter-MM

Overview

JUPITER-MM is a PC/104-format power supply module designed for mobile as well as stationary embedded applications. The JUPITER-MM is designed using a high efficiency DC/DC converter circuit to provide the maximum power with minimum losses. Power supply performance and reliability have been optimized through the use of precision surface mount components. The Jupiter-MM series contains significant advances in mobile embedded power supply technology:

Surface Mount Components
To the maximum extent possible, surface mount components have been used in the design, to lower the profile and improve ruggedness. An additional benefit to SMT technology is the improved ability to use the PCB planes as a heat sink.

High Efficiency, High-Frequency Design
Efficiency is as high as 92 percent, lowering input power requirements as well as heat generation. The 200KHz switching circuit allows the use of smaller inductors, reducing size and weight and allowing the board to fully fit within the PC/104 height requirements.

Advanced Heat Sink Technology
A new compressible thermally-conductive material mounted under the aluminum heat sink makes it possible to wick heat away effectively from varying height components. Also, the use of surface mount components and careful PCB design enhance the dissipation of heat through the PCB planes.

Remote On/Off Control
The supply can be turned on and off with an external contact closure through an auxiliary connector.

Extended Temperature Operation
Extended temperature (-40 to +85°C) operation is standard, enabling the supplies to be used in vehicle applications and other harsh environments.
