Mid-power convertors reduce filtering
demands
Vicor has added eight mid-power Mini DC/DC convertors to its 375V DC input family.
Vicor has added eight mid-power Mini DC/DC convertors to its 375V DC input family: a 100W model at 3.3V output; 150W model at 5V output; and 200W models at 12, 15, 24, 28, 36 and 48V output These half-brick modules - which incorporate Vicor's patented low-noise zero-current and zero-voltage switching (ZCS/ZVS) - can be used in a variety of applications, including offline systems with autoranging or PFC front ends, industrial and process control, distributed power, medical, ATE, communications, defence and aerospace

Modular switcher family extends downwards
Westcor, a division of Vicor, has added two new members to its LoPAC Series of low-profile AC/DC switchers.
Low-noise ZCS/ZVS greatly reduces the design effort and filtering costs required for power convertors to meet agency conducted emissions requirements.
With these new cost-effective products, the 375V input Mini family now comprises 17 models with output voltages spanning 2 to 48V DC and power levels from 100 to 300W.
The convertors operate from 375V nominal input, with an input range of 250 to 425V.
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 also be configured in any combination using Vicor PowerBench, a patented intelligent design system that allows a customer to configure a vast array of custom module designs online and verify them in real time.
The modules, which are optionally available in RoHS compliant models, are a compact 57.9 x 55.9 x 12.7mm in size with a height above board of 10.9mm.
