(under construction)

Description

This 'Breaker' node provides switching, electronic circuit breaker (eFuse) and monitoring of eight downstream DC power lines, each with individual programmable current level up to 2 Amp. Additionally, this device incorporates remote and local switching capabilities so that downstream power-rails can be re-activated, shutdown or given a low-level reset.

Functionality

• 8× overcurrent-protected downstream power switches 2A each
• Measure voltage and individual currents
• Remote + local control of outputs and error states
• Per port programmable current limits for most parameters
