Power Supply
The power supply accepts power from the AC mains and
converts it to DC to power the following:
VXI modules installed into the backplane
C
Backplane terminations and daisy chaining logic

Power Supply
Interconnection
Power is supplied to the backplane through board-to-board
connector P52 eliminating any wiring and sub-backplane
interconnect boards. This design reduces the path impedance
between the supply and the VXI modules receiving power, which
results in improved dynamic current performance. See
Appendix A
for specifications.
