Vicor Introduces New Mid-Power 48 Vin Micro Modules
Andover, MA, August 3, 2006...Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) announced the addition of six mid-power Micro DC-DC converters to the 48 Vdc input family: a 50 W model at 3.3 Vout and 75 W models at 12, 15, 24, 28, and 48 Vout. The modules - which incorporate Vicor's patented low-noise Zero-Current and Zero-Voltage Switching (ZCS/ZVS) - are appropriate for power system applications in distributed power, medical, ATE, communications, defense, 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 48 Vin Micro family now comprises 16 models with output voltages from 2 to 48 Vdc and power levels from 50 to 150 W. The converters operate from 48 V nominal input, with an input range of 36 V to 75 V. 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 2.28 x 1.45 x 0.5 inch (57,9 x 36,8 x 12,7mm) in size with a height above board of 0.43 inch (10,9mm).
"These mid-power Micros provide designers, who don't require the full-power capability of the Micro module, with a wider range of options that will make their designs more cost effective," said Robert Marchetti, Manager, Product Marketing.
The new mid-power Micros are available from stock to 6 weeks leadtimes and are priced from $48 in quantities of 1000.
