SOSA VPX Power: VITA 62 & VITA 46.11

By Jerry Hovdestad, Orbit Power Group, Behlman Electronics As we march along the technology curve, the need for more power gets greater with each step. VPX is no exception, as its demands are pushing up to 1,000 W in a 3U slot and 1,800 W in a 6U slot. VITA 62 is addressing the challenge by defining standards that make power supplies more intelligent. Jerry – who is deeply involved with the development of VITA 62 modular power-supply standards – gives us an update on what is happening to address todays design challenges in power supplies.
