Power Details
A 12VDC +/- 5% power supply with a 2.0A output will power any board from the ELI Family. This
allows a common, off-the-shelf power supply such as the
or prototyping across the entire ELI Family. In general, any 12VDC power supply with a 2.1mm
center positive plug will be acceptable if it can provide enough current to power the ELI unit being
used. On the ELI70-CP plug power into the (P2) connector.
For volume production applications, the input power can be optimized for your ELI unit and lower
capacity power supplies can be used.
In cases where the barrel connector is not desired, you can use the alternate power input connector
(J4) with supports directly plugging in 20-26 AWG wire with maximum 5A current per contact. The
datasheet for this J4 connector (PCB terminal block - PTSM 0,5/ 2-2,5-H SMD WH R24 – 1814634)
To verify that the ELI70-CP unit is correctly powered you may check the 12VDC input with a Fluke
meter or scope by probing the +12V and GND contacts shown below. Please verify that the 12VDC is
present, and is free from excessive noise or AC ripple.
