ATR Power Supplies
CM ATR military Power Supply Units (PSU) are available in ½, ¾ & 1 ATR size for 6U/3U chassis and are custom made to match the enclosure mechanics.
Our COTS PSUs have exceptional output power & are available in up to 575W (5 slot), 825W (7 slot) & 1550W (12 slot) versions to satisfy the full range of applications regardless of card-cage power needs.
High capacity improves PSU efficiency & MTBF when loaded below its maximum power limits. It allows ample reserve for system upgrades or provides extra power for internal & external auxiliary devices, such as platform sensors, signal adapters, remote sub-systems, etc.
CM PSUs accept all American & European standard AC/DC input voltages, single & 3-phase for worldwide operation per MIL-STD-704 & MIL-STD-1275.
PSU Class 1 oversized military power connectors offer shock & vibration reliable interconnectivity between chassis internal modules to allow high DC current rates, low voltage drops & minimum contact heating.
All PSU models supply +5VDC, +3.3VDC & ±12VDC standard outputs to the backplane payload electronics. Connectors designed into the chassis are military standard components to allow the user to easily find the corresponding mating connector on the open market.
Incorporates isolated DC/DC converters & hold-up capacitors to operat during short power failures, outputs are protected against short-circuit & thermal-shutdown.
PSUs are fitted with; Power Fail Monitor, MIL-STD-461E power filter, DC remote voltage sensing, output voltage trim-up, time-delayed protection fuses, rear fan EMI-filter & fuse and DC/DC converter remote shutdown.
PSUs are attached to the chassis rear panel to provide conduction & convection cooling. Forced air dissipates heat generated by the PSU as air passes over the rear panel fins (except FAC/S/SEF models). Heat is also dissipated via thermal conduction to the chassis frame.

EMI/RFI Filters
Chassis fitted with a DC PSU are equipped with a VICOR Filter Input Attenuator Module (FIAM). Integrated prior to DC/DC converters, this front-end device provides; EMI filtering, autoranging line rectification, inrush current limiting & transient protection.
Single-phase AC PSUs are fitted with two VICOR military Filter Autoranging Rectifier Modules (FARM). 200VAC 3-Phase PSUs incorporate a AC/DC rectifier stage prior front-end modules.
FIAM modules are protected against DC reverse polarity. An optional reverse polarity diode may be fitted in series with power connector input pin IN (+).
PSU power lines run lengthwise through chassis side panel shielded corridors to ensure the PSU & Fan power cables are EMI/RFI shielded with regard to chassis I/O wiring harnesses.
A shielded corridor remains free for integrators who wish to shield noise sensitive I/O signals from cables linking front panel connectors to the backplane.
VICOR FIAM & FARM filter modules meet MIL-STD-461E/F Class A1b. Coherent wiring practices will ensure Electromagnetic Compatibility is maintained.

DC/DC Converters installed on the chassis PSU provide voltage trimming, remote sensing & complete electrical & thermally isolated outputs.
DC/DC converters may be disabled through an optocoupled control signal to allow a Temperature Supervisory Unit (TSU) to monitor & shutdown PSU power devices in the event of over-temperature conditions in the card cage or emergencies.
Rotron chassis exhaust fans have independent circuitry with respect to the PSU input power voltage. Fan voltage can be selected according to the required airflow regardless of the PSU main power voltage.
Previsions are available for an optional Redundant Plug-in Power Supply Unit that provides dual redundancy for highly critical applications.
Several custom Dual Redundant PSUs are available or can be designed upon request.
An optional TSU can be fitted on the RPSU for protecting card-cage electronics against extreme climate conditions. This feature takes advantage of card-cage heaters in the event of cold start-ups & also limits the risk of high temperature failure during operation.
