ESD Warning
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling any circuit
board assemblies including Connect Tech COM Express
carrier assemblies, it is recommended that ESD safety
precautions be observed. ESD safe best practices include,
but are not limited to:
Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging
until they are ready to be installed.
Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit
boards, at a minimum you should touch a grounded
metal object to dissipate any static charge that may
be present on you.
Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas,
which may include ESD floor and table mats, wrist
strap stations and ESD safe lab coats.
Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas.
Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding
contact with components.
Introduction
Connect Tech’s Xtreme/PSU-UC is a high efficiency, high powered PC/104 form factor power supply with extended
temperature capabilities. Xtreme/PSU-UC is a highly reliable power supply which provides 154W of total output power
with +5V, +3.3V, +12V, -12V and +5V-Standby output voltages. It can be used as a stand-alone power supply to
power any other embedded system, or used directly to power any PCI-104 stack or single board computer (SBC). The
Xtreme/PSU-UC has a wide input voltage range that accepts +9V to +36V DC and is specifically designed for use in a
broad range of rugged applications including military, industrial, and air and ground vehicles. Xtreme/PSU-UC can be
used in combination with Connect Tech’s stackable CPU and expansion boards for a total design solution.
In addition to the power supply capabilities, the Xtreme/PSU-UC also has the ability to charge, monitor and switch
from main supply to a backup SMART battery, providing transparent backup power to all voltage outputs. The
Xtreme/PSU-UC is a Level 2 SMART battery charger and works with all SMART batteries, supporting charge voltages
up to +16V and charging current up to 4A.

Hardware Installation
The Xtreme/PSU-UC can be installed into a PC/104 stack to provide power to the stack through its external
power connector. The Xtreme/PSU-UC can also be used as a stand-alone embedded power supply to
provide power to any other piece of equipment or embedded SBC.
To install the Xtreme/PSU-UC in your system please follow these steps:
1. Ensure your DC input power is OFF (+9V to +36V)
2. Install standoffs into system
3. Insert Xtreme/PSU-UC onto stack (bottom, middle or top).
4. Ensure board is bolted/screwed into stack
5. Connect any external power connections to the Xtreme/PSU-UC’s External Power Connector
6. Connect input power connection to the Xtreme/PSU-UC’ Input Power Connector
*** WARNING: NEVER PLUG IN A LIVE CONNECTION TO THE INPUT POWER ***
7. Power on input power to power up the system.

For applications using the on-board ultracapacitors, installing the jumper (setting the Charge Voltage to
+24V) will maximize the hold-up time.

External Module Charging
The Xtreme/PSU-UC includes an external connector that can be used to charge additional Ultracap
modules. In order to conform with many +16V rated modules, the removal of jumper J1 will set this
external Charge voltage to +15.5V. Depending on the properties of the module that you wish to use there
may be requirements for custom firmware to optimize charging for your target module. If you wish to
increase holdup with the use of an external ultracapacitor module please email support@connecttech.com
and a custom board and/or custom firmware can be designed to exactly fit your needs.
Remote ON/OFF Functionality
The Xtreme/PSU-UC incorporates remote ON/OFF functionality, in order to necessitate remotely turning
the Xtreme PSU ON or OFF from a mechanical switch or digital I/O. It also supports supply shutoff and
start up in software via the USB or RS-232 serial interfaces.
+5V-Standby Functionality
The +5V-Standby power will continue to remain turned ON at all times whenever the input power is
present, this will be independent of the SHUTDOWN# pin
Turn Supply ON
When the SHUTDOWN# pin is left floating, unconnected or is driven externally to a voltage above +1.5V
(min) and +5V (max), the Xtreme/PSU-UC’ +5V, +3.3V, -12V and +12V rails will turn ON.

Turn Supply OFF
Connecting the SHUTDOWN# pin to ground the Xtreme/PSU-UC’ +5V and +12V will turn OFF.
Alternatively the Xtreme/PSU-UC can be turned OFF by driving the SHUTDOWN# pin to a voltage below
+1.3V.
