Wide-input DC-DC converters

10 November 2010 Power Electronics / Power Management

Vicor recently added a new 28 V Mini family of DC-DC converters.

With a wide input range of 9 to 36 V, the modules are appropriate for MIL-COTS and industrial applications operating from 12 V or 24 V inputs. Fully encapsulated, Vicor Mini modules utilise a proprietary spin-fill process to assure complete, void-free encapsulation, making them suitable for the harshest environments.

The new 28 V d.c. Mini series models offer eight different output voltages ranging from 3,3 V to 48 V with a maximum power of 150 W, and four operating temperature grades, including –55°C. Baseplate options include slotted, threaded and through-hole. The 9–36 V input range enables designers to specify one converter to operate in both 12 V and 24 V vehicle systems.
