The XPm2010 operates from 16 to 50 volts steady state while maintaining as much as 300 Watts of isolated output power. It provides as much as 25 amps on 3.3 volts, 22 amps on 5 volts, and 8.3 amps on 12 volts in a 3U cPCI form factor. Integrated MIL-STD-461E electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering is provided, and with an optional hold-up capacitor the XPm2010 provides as much as 60 milliseconds of hold up time at 120 Watts.

With support for current sharing, designers can connect two XPm2010s in parallel to provide increased power output. The power electronics device has a PICMG 2.11 standard 47 position connector pinout, conduction cooling, and load sharing support. The XPm2010 is in use by domestic and international military and avionics designers, and is the standard power supply in X-ES CompactPCI ATR systems.
