Feature Descriptions

Introduction

The PIM400X module is designed to support the Advanced
Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) power
entry distribution requirements for the Front Board / Blade per
the PICMG 3.0 specifications.
The PICMG 3.0 specification defines the Mechanical, Shelf
Management Interface, Power Distribution, Thermal, Data I/O
and Regulatory requirements for the next generation of
modular telecom architecture platform for use in Central Office
telecom environments.

Input Pin Connections

The ATCA board is specified to accept up to a maximum of
400W of input power via dual, redundant -48Vdc Feeds
through the Zone 1 (Power and Management) connector,
designated P10.
The power connector provides board to backplane
engagement via pins of varying lengths. Please consult the
PICMG 3.0 specifications for details.
The following are the design considerations of the input pin
connections of the PIM400X to the ATCA power connector.

* Pre-charge resistors

The first pins to mate in the ATCA power connector are the
EARLY_A, EARLY_B, the two grounds (LOGIC_GND, SHELF_GND)
and the two returns (VRTN_A, VRTN_B); followed by staggered
connections of -48V_A and -48V_B power Feeds. The last pins
to engage are the two short pins, ENABLE_A & ENABLE_B. The
ATCA backplane connects the ENABLE_A to VRTN_A, ENABLE_B
to VRTN_B, EARLY_A to -48V_A and EARLY_B to -48V_B.
EARLY_A & EARLY_B Connections: During hot insertion of the
ATCA board, the Inrush Control circuit limits the surge current
to the C_FLTR capacitor. However, due to the presence of a
small amount of internal EMI filter capacitance (located before
the Inrush Control circuit), it is recommended that Precharge
resistors, R1 & R2 (100 Ohms, with appropriate surge capability)
be connected as shown in the Typical Application circuit.

Inrush Current Control / Hot Plug Functionality

The module provides inrush current control / hot plug
capability. The peak value of the inrush current and the
duration complies with the PICMG 3.0’s Inrush Transient
specifications. The specifications shall be met with the external
C_HLDP and C_FLTR capacitances as specified in the previous
sections.
The unique design of the module where the large energy
storage capacitors are segregated from the input filter
capacitors allows the module to meet the stringent PICMG’s
inrush transient specifications with minimal energy storage
capacitors.

This is the main -48V output bus that provides the payload
power to the downstream (one or more) DC/DC converters. The
