Thread: Onboard DC-DC PSU

It requires regulated 12v and your vehicle's electrical system doesn't provide regulated 12v.
Can you use the board? Sure, with a regulator.

slight correction-- there is no link to the product your talking about, so i can't be sure that it has a on-board 12 volt dc-dc. many atom boards have a 19v power adapter, which would have different in-car power supply requirements.

saying it uses dc-dc power is like asking why your Ford won't start-- there are many variations within the category, and all of them can have different solutions.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813500027 is the product I am looking at.

doesn't say the input voltage on the details page.
you need atleast 9-16. or you will probably burn the dc-dc converter when you start te car
(car running is13.8 volts or higher)

The board requires regulated 19v.
Your vehicle can't output that voltage, so look at a Carnetix.

Now much of a electrical junky, but which carnetix should I be looking at? P1900?

the faq's cover how to pick the correct power supply (link in darques sig)
