Vicor DC-DC converters

Vicor has introduced a 110 VDC input series of 24 models of maxi, mini and micro DC-DC converters. This series includes eight standard output voltages (3.3, 5, 12, 15, 24, 28, 36, 48) in combination with three different package sizes (¼ brick, ½ brick, full brick) with output power ranging from 50 to 400 W, depending on the model.

The modules are designed for railway and transportation system applications including communication systems, information displays, lighting, control systems, ticket machines, passenger entertainment, public address systems and power generation systems.

The models feature a wide input range (66-154 V continuous operation), encapsulated circuitry for shock and vibration, and extended temperature ranges.

Performance specifications include a wide input voltage range in accordance with EN50155, as well as efficiencies ranging up to 90% for the higher output voltages. The models are available in five different environmental grades, with six different pin options and three baseplate options.
