Hot-Swap Power Board
HOT-SWAP POWER BOARD
In many robotic applications it is a requirement to provide continuous power supply without having to reset the system when changing batteries or when switching between DC power supply and battery source. RoboSavvy HotSwap Power Board 1.0 is designed to provide continuous power to a robot allowing the interchangeable use of two DC power sources
Mobile Robots require continuous DC power supply to ensure the computers and motors continue to work when swapping batteries or when switching from DC to battery operation or when using an unreliable DC power supply backed up by battery. RoboSavvy HotSwap Power Board (PowerBoard 1.0) is designed to provide up to 25A of continuous power, allowing safe hot-swapping between two interchangeable power sources.
Features
| 2 Input power sources (mains DC power or battery) | The board can accept any combination of two power sources. They can be of different voltage within the 2.9V-18V range. |
| 2.9V to 18V Operating Range | Good for up to 4 cell LiPo |
| Emergency power cutoff when power source reaches low battery voltage | Protect you LiPo battery from critical low voltage |
| Voltage spike protection | The Board turns off when reaching voltage above 18V |
| Input Voltage Inversion protection | Protects the board and system from accidental reversed polarity input voltage |
| Protection from from applying erronous external voltage on output rail | Protects the board from application of high voltage or reverse polarity voltage on the Output rail |
| Current spike cuttoff | The board will shut off the output voltage when sensing a current spike. Limits Peak Fault Current in ≤1μs |
| Inrush current control | Protects against initial current spike surge |
| Protects Output Voltage from Input Brownouts and oscilations | Ensures limited voltage drop when switching input voltage source |
| Status LEDs and monitoring pins | LEDS indicated current input channel source and fault. This status is available as pins to external CPU for monitoring. |
| Pins allow enable/disable of each input source | User/CPU can select which input voltage is available. |
