Description
The CAR2512FP Front-End provides highly efficient isolated power from worldwide input mains in a compact 1U
industry standard form factor in an unprecedented power density of 25W/in
3 . It is ideal for datacom applications
such as enterprise networking, mid to high-end servers, and storage equipment, where mid to light load efficiency is
of key importance given the nature of the power consumption of the end application.
The high-density, front-to-back airflow is designed for minimal space utilization and is highly expandable for future
growth. The industry standard PMBus compliant I 2 C communications buss offers a full range of control and
monitoring capabilities. The SMBAlert signal pin alerts customers automatically of any state change within the power
supply.
