Description
The CAR2512TE 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 . Ideal for applications where mid to light
load efficiency is of key importance. This front-end is complemented by the CAR2512DC dc/dc converter designed to
convert 48/60Vdc power of telecom central offices. This plug and play approach offers rapid system reconfiguration
by simply replacing the power supply.
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.
