DC/DC Bricks harness more power in less space
A series of DC/DC bricks retaining the fundamental design attributes of conventional bricks, but providing up to 51% greater power density, has been launched by Vicor. The HD Brick Series, the company claims, enable system designers to harness more power in less space than with competing brick-based products and Vicor’s earlier generation Maxi, Mini and Micro DC-to-DC converters.
The first two standard offerings in Vicor’s HD Brick Series portfolio are a 320 W HD Brick with nominal 28 Vin (16 – to 50 V input range) and 28 Vout, in a 48.6 x 46.5 x 16 mm package, and a 400 W HD Brick with nominal 300 Vin (180 – 420 V input range) and 12 Vout, in a 57 x 46.5 x 16 mm package. These DC-DC converters are available in flange and flangeless versions, can operate in harsh environments, and support three temperature grades, including operation to -55OC. They can be deployed in combination with Vicor’s ZVS Buck Regulators and VI Chip® power components to power the Point of Load portion of the power system. The devices boast efficiency levels up to 94%.
Vicor’s 400 W HD Brick DC-to-DC converters are available for order today from Vicor and its authorized distributors, with pricing starting at $166 each for 500 unit volumes. 320 W HD Bricks will be available later in Q2, with pricing starting at $142 each for 500 unit volumes.A
