Power factor corrected PSUs

2 September 2015 Power Electronics / Power Management

Vicor introduced the new VIA PFM range of high-density, low-profile AC-DC front-end power modules which are available from Mouser representatives by virtue of its new distribution agreement.

Achieving a power density of 8 W/cm³, they supply an isolated PFC (power factor corrected) regulated 24 V or 48 V SELV DC output at up to 400 W from the universal AC input range of 85 to 264 V with 93% peak efficiency.

The VIA PFM is five times thinner than traditional 1U supplies, offering unique design advantages to power system architects challenged by size constraints. With its 9 mm thin profile and 36 mm width, the module can be mounted on the sidewall of any typical 1U chassis, saving valuable real estate. Thermally adept VIA PFMs may be chassis mounted and conduction cooled to eliminate fans, thereby improving overall system reliability and further minimising the power system footprint.

High density, high efficiency and low thermal resistance make these front-end modules well suited for a wide range of end-market applications, including small cell wireless base stations, size constrained LED lighting applications, industrial and automation systems.

Vicor’s online PowerBench design tool suite enables designers to model a complete AC to PoL (point-of-load) power system with a modular power component design methodology. The software provides the ability to quickly configure and visualise end-to-end power systems and dynamically analyse system performance, accelerating design cycles and reducing development costs.
