Compact convertors address mid-power demands
Vicor has added seven mid-power DC/DC convertors to its high-density 24V DC input Micro family: the 50W models are available with 3.3, 5, 12, 15, 24, 28 and 48V outputs.
With these new models, the 48V-input Micro family now comprises 16 models with output voltages from 2 to 48V DC and power levels from 50 to 150W.
The convertors operate from 48V nominal input, with an input range of 36 to 75V.
Efficiencies range up to 89% for the higher output voltages.
These models are available in five different environmental grades, with six different pin options and three baseplate options.
They can be configured in any combination in Vicor's custom module design.
These mid-power products provide designers, who do not require the full-power capability of the Micro module, with a wider range of options that will make their designs more cost effective.
In addition, the low noise ZCS/ZVS greatly reduces the design effort and filtering costs required for power convertors to meet agency conducted emissions requirements.
Available as RoHS compliant models if required, the modules are a compact 57.9 x 36.8 x 12.7mm in size with a height above board of 10.9mm.
