The VadaTech UTC017 is a 500W (42A @ 12V) power module for use in a μTCA chassis. It is fully compliant with the MicroTCA.0 revision 1.0 specification; including dual-redundant I2C buses (IPMB-0). The UTC017 is hot-swappable and fully redundant when used in conjunction with a second instance of the module. It provides power to the twelve slots, two MCHs (MicroTCA Carrier Hubs) as well as the CUs (Cooling Units). Multiple temperature sensors are included on-board to monitor for over-temp conditions within the module. The current is continuously measured for each of the modules and reported to MCH for any fault. Once installed in the system the firmware is upgradable via the shelf manager. The UTC017 can be configured to power and enable the modules without the presence of an MCH.
