ChiP DCM family offers ±1% regulation
Power component manufacturer, Vicor, has extended its family of isolated, regulated DC/DC converter modules (DCMs) in ChiP packages, with a range of ±1% voltage regulation devices. With power densities of up to 1,032W/in3, the new series will offer engineers the option of directly driving loads that require tightly regulated output voltages. Vicor’s current family of DCMs in a ChiP package offers up to ±3% regulation and can also be paralleled into arrays for higher power delivery.
The ChiP DCM can operate from a wide range unregulated input to generate an isolated DC output. With its high frequency zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topology, the DCM converter consistently delivers high efficiency across its entire input voltage range.
Supporting Point-of-Load applications
The new series of DCMs are initially offered with 28, 270, and 275V nominal input voltages.
These products are aimed at a variety of defense and industrial applications that require tighter output voltage regulation – these include, UAV, ground vehicle, radar, transportation and industrial controls. All these families are available in M-Grade, which provides operation down to -55°C.
