DC to DC car ITX power supply

I was surfing MP3car.com and I found a thread about a DC to DC car ITX power supply. Opus - who are very well know for producing ATX PSUs are planning ( by all accounts to release the ITX version some time in March 2003). I have sent an email to them asking if this is the case as I would be willing to wait a few weeks and pay a little extra to get exactly what I want. The price I have seen about for this is around $150 + delivery. Here are some of the main points of the unit.

• Ignition / On / OFF input


• Shutdown control


• Delayed shutdown timer : 20 min, 40 min or 1hr. Jumper configurable


• Low battery shutdown to protect battery from deep discharge


• Input Voltage: 7 to 18V DC or 18 to 30VDC


• Power control input: Ignition / ON / OFF in-put terminal


• Total output power : 90W max. continues load


• +5V @ 6A, +3.3V @ 6A, +12V @ 2.5A, +5V Stby @ 3A, -12V @ 0.2A

Lastly I have created a guest book and a pass-it-on utility. If you have been here before or are new then please feel free to sign the guest book and enter any comments you want - I will read them. Also its a bit of publicity for your own site as you can also put the URL in there - and yes people do look at them because this was where I got a lot of information from for my self. The pass-it-on utility allows you to email anybody in the world a quick message and a link to this site. I again have used these tools in the past just to remember a site when I am on the move so I thought I would post it here as well. More to come soon.
