cPCI 3U Load Board

The cPCI 3U Load Board is a specialized test card designed to simulate resistive loads on CompactPCI systems under both electrical and thermal stress conditions.
Specifications
  • Configurable resistive load across multiple voltage rails
  • Air-cooled and conduction-cooled variants
  • Built-in over-temperature shutdown at ~120 °C
  • Voltage and temperature sensing via front connections
  • Automatic reactivation after cooling
  • Compact 3U, 4HP format
  • Suitable for both functional and thermal validation

It helps validate power supply capacity, thermal performance, and system reliability. The board includes temperature-based shutdown protection to prevent overheating.

The cPCI 3U Load Board acts as a precise load simulator for CompactPCI systems, enabling reliable electrical and thermal testing. It produces configurable resistive loads across the standard supply rails (+5 V, +3.3 V, +12 V, –12 V), allowing engineers to verify power capacity and heat dissipation in realistic operating conditions. Built-in thermal protection ensures that the board shuts itself off when temperatures exceed safe limits (120 °C), then automatically resumes once cooled. With sensing circuits for both voltage and temperature, it provides insight into system behavior under stress — all within a compact 3U, 4HP form factor.

Features

Features Form Factor: 3U

Slot Pitch: 4HP (20.32 mm)

Function: Simulates resistive loads on cPCI systems (electrical and thermal)

Cooling:
 • Air-cooled (with heatsink)
 • Also available in conduction-cooled variant

Permissible Current Loads:
 • +5 V: 0 A … 8.25 A in 0.55 A steps
 • +3.3 V: 0 A … 10.5 A in 0.7 A steps
 • +12 V: 1 A (ON/OFF)
 • –12 V: 1 A (ON/OFF)

Control Voltage: Requires 5 V as control input

Voltage & Temperature Measurement:
 • 4 PTC resistors (front bottom, front top) for temperature sensing
 • Front-panel 2 × 8-pin header (X1) for voltage & temperature sense lines
 • Optional DVM (digital voltmeter) plug-on board

Thermal Protection: Automatic shut-off if board temperature exceeds 120 °C ± 5 K. After cooling, it re-energizes automatically.
