Vicor Introduces Wide-Input 28 V Micro DC-DC Converters
Andover, MA, June 2, 2009... The Brick Business Unit of Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today announced the addition of eight wide-input Micro DC-DC converters to its 28 Vdc input family. These models have nominal output voltages ranging from 3.3 to 48 Vdc and a maximum power of 100 W (50 W at 3.3 and 5 Vout and 100 W at 12, 15, 24, 28, 36, and 48 Vout). These modules are ideal for either 12 or 24 V applications such as MIL-COTS or commercial battery systems in vehicles. They can also be used in a variety of vehicle or man-portable applications including lighting, communications, portable test equipment, display, and control systems.
With efficiencies ranging up to 81 percent, these converters operate from 28 V nominal input, with an input range of 9 to 36 V. These models are available in four environmental grades (with operating temperatures as low as -55ºC) with six pin options and three baseplate options. These modules, which are available in RoHS-compliant models, are a compact 2.28 x 1.45 x 0.5 in. (57,9 x 36,8 x 12,7 mm) in size and have a wide trim range of 10 to 110 percent of nominal output voltage.
"With these new entries, Vicor is expanding an already broad 28 V family of wide-input DC-DC converters," said Kai Johnstad, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, "The wide-input 28 V Micro module offers additional options including more output voltages, environmental grades, and a variety of packaging choices."
Pricing for the wide-input 28 V Micro module begins as low as $102 USD in 100-piece quantities. Lead times can be as short as three weeks for prototype quantities.
