1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The CT-31 Series is a 3U Rugged Conduction-Cooled CompactPCI single board computer in single-slot (4HP) width form factor
featuring the ultra low voltage Intel® Atom™ N450 or D510 processor with ICH8M I/O Controller Hub. The CT-31 provides single
channel DDR2-667/800 soldered onboard memory up to 2GB,
integrated graphics on the CPU and IDE CompactFlash slot.
The optional Rear Transition Module (RTM) provides 2x SATA,
2x GbE, 1x USB, 2x COM, and VGA ports. One PCI-Express x1
port, GPIO and SMBus signals are routed to the J2 connector.
Designed for stability and packaged in a rugged conduction-cooled format, the CT-31 is suitable for long life applications
situated in extreme environments. It can withstand extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration under operation, and its components have been selected from embedded technology program s to
offer long-term availability. The CT-31 Series is ideally suited for
transportation and military applications.

2.2 Power Requirements
In order to guarantee stable operation of the system, it is recommended that significantly more power be provided than required.
An industrial power supply unit should be able to provide at
least twice as much power as the entire system requires of
each voltage. An ATX power supply unit should be able to provide
at least three times as much power as the entire system requires
of each voltage.
The tolerance of the voltage lines described in the CompactPCI
specification (PICMG 2.0 R3.0) is +5%/-3% for 5, 3. 3 V and ±5%
for ±12V. This specification is for power delivered to each slot and
it includes both the power supply and the backplane tolerance.
Voltage
5V +5.0 VDC +5% / -3% 50 mV
3.3V +3.3 VDC +5% / -3% 50 mV
