Operating from a 380VDC nominal input and delivering an isolated SELV 48V output, the VIA BCM DC/DC bus converter module has been released by Vicor. The device provides a new level of functional integration in a 9mm thin thermally adept module incorporating EMI filtering, transient protection and inrush current limiting.

The company’s MHz frequency, soft-switching bus converter technology enables DC/DC front ends with far greater density and efficiency than competing products. VIA BCMs can be paralleled to provide multi-kW arrays, provide bi-directional power processing, and support PMBus digital communication capabilities. Utilising a robust and time proven HVDC power conversion technology, the module is particularly suited for HVDC distribution in datacentres, microgrids, ICT equipment, ATE and industrial systems.

The VIA power module enables power system designers to create highly dense, efficient, flexible and scalable power systems. Available in chassis-mount and PCB-mount configurations, the device supports a multiplicity of mechanical mounting and thermal management options.

Vicor’s online PowerBench design tool suite enables designers to model a complete DC to PoL power system with a modular power component design methodology. The PowerBench tool suite provides the ability to quickly configure and visualise end-to-end power systems and dynamically analyse system performance, accelerating design cycles and reducing development costs.
