Power Considerations
The power considerations presented in this chapter must be taken into account by system integrators when specifying the
CP6924 system environment.
6.1
Baseboard
The CP6924 has been designed for optimal power input and distribution. Still it is necessary to observe certain criteria
essential for application stability and reliability. The board is supplied by 3.3V and 5.0V from the backplane. All supply volt-
ages from the backplane are enabled with a predefined ramp-up time. The inrush current is limited by Hot-Swap control-
lers.
The table below indicates the absolute maximum input voltage ratings that must not be exceeded. Power supplies to be
used with the CP6924 should be carefully tested to ensure compliance with these ratings.
Power consumption: below 50 W.

Backplanes
Backplanes to be used with the CP6924 must be adequately specified. The backplane must provide optimal power distribu-
tion for the +3.3 V and +5 V power inputs. Input power connections to the backplane itself should be carefully specified to
ensure a minimum of power loss and to guarantee operational stability. Long input lines, under-dimensioned cabling or
bridges, high resistance connections, etc. must be avoided. It is recommended to use POSITRONIC or M-type connector
backplanes and power supplies where possible.
