Vicor Corporation announces the addition of nine mid-power Mini DC-DC converters to the 24Vdc input family: a 100W model at 3.3Vout, 150W models at 5, 12, 15, 24, 28, 36, and 48Vout. A 200W model at a new standard 36V output has also been added. The modules — which incorporate Vicor’s patented low-noise Zero-Current and Zero-Voltage Switching (ZCS/ZVS) — can be used as a cost-effective option in a variety of applications, including industrial or process control, distributed power, medical, ATE, communications, defence, and aerospace. Low-noise ZCS/ZVS greatly reduces the design effort and filtering costs required for power converters to meet agency conducted emissions requirements.

With these new models, the 24Vin Mini family now comprises 16 models with output voltages from 3.3 to 48Vdc and power levels from 100 to 200W. The converters operate from 24V nominal input, with an input range of 18V to 36V. 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 System at www.vicorpower.com

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.

Vicor’s comprehensive line of power solutions includes modular, high-density
AC-DC and DC-DC modules and accessory components, fully configurable
AC-DC and DC-DC power supplies, and complete custom power systems.
