Description
The CAR2912TE Front-End provides highly efficient isolated power from worldwide input mains in a compact 1U
industry standard form factor. This power supply is ideal for applications where mid to light load efficiency is of key
importance in order to reduce system power consumption during ‘typical’ operational conditions.
The high-density, front-to-back airflow is designed for minimal space utilization and is highly expandable for future
growth. Dual/redundant, industry standard, PMBus™ compliant I

- PMBusTM Commands
- Standard instruction: Up to two bytes of data may follow an instruction depending on the required data content. Analog data is always transmitted as LSB followed by MSB. PEC is optional and includes the address and data fields.
- Standard features
- The commands below are ‘read only’. They cannot be modified.
- Read_Status_state (0xD1): This command returns the STATUS-2 and STATUS-1 register values using the standard ‘read’ format.
- Status-2
- Status-1
- Alarm-2
- Alarm-1
- Read_Fan_speed (0 x D3) : Returns the commanded speed in percent and the measured speed in RPM. Up to 3 fans are supported. If a fan does not exist, or if the command is not supported the unit return 0x00.
- General performance descriptions
- Default state: Power supplies are programmed in the default state to automatically restart after a shutdown has occurred. The default state can be reconfigured by changing non-volatile memory (Store_default_code).
- Information only alarms: The following alarms are for information only, they do not cause a shutdown
