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.
- Direction Male/Female connector and cables are provided for quick-connect to AI Camera and insertion of PowerUp2 quickly, without the need for additional wire connections
- Min. 35 Minute Power Back-up for AI at 350mA/h current consumptions
