2.3.2Power Requirements

The MVME7100 uses only +5.0 V from the VMEbus backplane. On board power supplies generate the required voltages for the various ICs. The MVME 7100 connects the +12 V and - 12 V supplies from the backplane to the PMC sites while the +3.3 V power supplied to the PMC sites comes from the +5.0 V backplane power. A maximum of 10 A of +3.3 V power is available to the PMC sites, however the 90 W +5.0 V limit must be observed as well as any cooling limitations.

The next table provides an estimate of the typical and maximum power required.
