USB-SSR08 User's Guide 

Specifications 

The USB-SSR08 monitors the ex9 V power supply voltage with a voltage supervisory 
circuit. If this power supply exceeds its specified limit, the PWR LED will turn off indicating a 
power fault condition.  

Note 1:  

External power output

Parameter Conditions 

Specification 

External power output - current range 

 

4.0 A max. 

External power output (Note 2) 

Voltage drop between power input and daisy 
chain power output  

0.5 V max 

Compatible cable(s) for daisy chain 

C-MAPWR-x 

X= 2 , 3, or 6 feet 

Note 2:  

The daisy chain power output option allows multiple Measurement Computing USB boards to be 
powered from a single external power source in a daisy chain fashion. The voltage drop between 
the module power supply input and the daisy chain output is 0.5 V max. Users must plan for this 
drop to assure the last module in the chain will receive at least 6.0 VDC.
