Idrive PowerUp2
DESCRIPTION The PowerUp 2 is a high voltage power manager providing instant-on operation and high efficiency battery charging over a wide voltage range.
Seamlessly used for 12Vdc to 24VDC embedded automotive systems; e.g. X2 & AI Camera Event Video Recording Systems.
An onboard buck-boost DC/DC controller operates with battery and/or system voltage above, below or equal to the input voltage. The PowerUp2 seamlessly manages power distribution between battery and converter outputs in response to load variations, battery charge requirement and input power supply limitations.
The module instant-on operation ensures system load power even with a fully discharged battery.
Additional safety features include preconditioning for heavily discharged batteries and an integrated timer for termination and protection. The module can provide constant-current/ constant -voltage charge algorithm (CC/CV). Maximum converter and battery charge current are resistor controlled.
