With input range of 10-36 V, Series VI-J00 and VI-200 target applications operating from 12-24 V inputs, which are typical for battery systems in vehicles. Available in 4 environmental grades, VI-200 Series offers 16 output voltages from 3.3-48 V with max power of 75 W, while Series VI-J00 offers 16 output voltages from 3.3-48 V with max power of 50 W. Low-noise ZCS topology minimizes design effort and filtering required for converters to meet agency-conducted emissions requirements.

Andover, MA, March 13, 2008... The Brick Business Unit of Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) - leading the power industry in parts availability and customization with very short lead times - today announced the addition of a new 24 V input series for both the VI-J00 and VI-200 families of DC-DC converters. With a wide input range of 10 to 36 V, the modules are targeted for applications operating from 12 V or 24 V inputs, which are typical for battery systems in vehicles. The low-noise ZCS topology greatly reduces the design effort and filtering costs required for power converters to meet agency-conducted emissions requirements.
The new 24 Vdc VI-200 Series models offer 16 different output voltages ranging from 3.3 V to 48 V with a maximum power of 75 W, and four different environmental grades. Packaging options include a flangeless model (SlimMod), a flangeless model with an integral heat sink (FinMod), and a chassis mount housing with screw/lug wiring interface (BusMod). The modules, which are optionally available in RoHS compliant models, are a compact 4.6 x 2.2 x 0.5 inch (117 x 56 x 12,7 mm) in size.

"This new 10-36 Vdc input range facilitates the power design for many vehicle and man portable applications requiring either 12 V or 24 V operation," said Joe Sullivan, Product Marketing Manager.
Pricing for the 24 Vdc input VI-J00 or VI-200 models ranges from as low as $89 USD (5 V, 50 W, E Grade) in 100-piece quantities. Lead times can be as short as three weeks for prototype quantities.
