100A Continuous on 14S
VBAT for the ESC up to 100 A continuous, with a 160 A (5 s) burst and a 320 A measurement limit.
Power & Servo
CAN PMU Lite 14S
SKU · AAD-PMU-L14S · CAN PMU Lite 14S
Lighter CAN power monitoring and ESC control for mid-size platforms. Measures battery voltage and current, powers the controller and peripherals, and drives the ESC — all over the DroneCAN bus, with short-circuit protection on the regulated lines.
Key Advantage
Current measurement, power for controller and peripherals, ESC control and power — all on the CAN bus, with short-circuit protection on the regulated lines.
Highlights
Core specs and the field-proven features that define the CAN PMU Lite 14S.
