+== What power conditioning does Gateworks offer on the SBCs? ==
+
+Gateworks has very sturdy and robust power supplies that typically use a wide voltage DC input (8-60VDC for most boards). Gateworks will typically put a series diode for reverse polarity protection and a TVS for overvoltage transient protection.
+
+For example, here is more specifications on a Ventana GW5220:
+ * Gateworks has power conditioning circuitry on the VIN input which consists of a reverse polarity protection diode, a couple of X2Y EMI supression caps and a transient voltage protection diode which kicks in at 60V. Gateworks has had many customers use our boards for in vehicle applications with good results. The TVS device is the SMAJ58A. It provides IEC61000-4-2 ESD, IEC61000-4-4 EFT and  IEC61000-4-5 surge protection.
