Introduction
The picoUPS-100 is a small yet powerful UPS (uninterruptible power supply)
solution. The picoUPS-100 was conveniently design to be compatible with
quarter brick PSU standard (58 x 36mm).
The picoPSU-100 ensures uninterrupted power for your electronics by
automatically switching in between a DC input source (15-18V) and a Lead
Acid (SLA battery). The switching in between the power sources is
instantaneous, thus allowing smooth, uninterrupted device operation. The
picoUPS-100 also has a built-in, two stage battery charger unit.

Mode of Operation
The PICOUPS-100 has been specifically designed for uninterruptible
small/medium power PC operation, where always on operating is required.
Applications for the picoUPS include a wide range of systems including
servers and telecom and high availability systems. These applications often
have either N+1 redundant power supplies, redundant power buses, or both.
Power inputs
1) A 16V power source. The actual range for V(in) 15-18V.
NOTE: Unit will work as low as 6V, but battery will not be charged if V(in) is lower than 15V!

Typical configuration
A typical configuration for a low / medium power computer setup is comprised
from a 12V / 7Ah battery, a 16V / 5A AC/DC adapter. The output can be
coupled to ATX power supply such as M1-ATX, M2-ATX, M3-ATX or
picoPSU-60-WI or picoPSU-120-25.
