Filters for Vicor's VI BRICK

2 February 2011 Power Electronics / Power Management

Newly released by Vicor is the MIL-COTS VI BRICK Filter, available as a standalone filter or integrated with the PRM regulator module. The integrated filter is an efficient (~95%) non-isolated regulator capable of both boosting and bucking a wide-range input voltage (16,5-50 V d.c.) and delivers output power up to 120 W. It provides compliance to MIL-STD-1275A/B/D and MIL-STD-704A-F for transients and MIL-STD-461E/F for EMI.

The standalone brick filter is a separate DC front-end module that provides EMI filtering and transient protection. The filter enables designers using Vicor’s MIL-COTS VI BRICK and V·I Chip PRMs to meet conducted emission/conducted susceptibility per MIL-STD-461E/F and input transients per MIL-STD-704A/E/F and MIL-STD-1275A/B/D. It accepts an input voltage of 16,5-50 V d.c. and delivers output power up to 120 W.

The MIL-COTS VI BRICK filter is specifically designed to provide a controlled factorised bus distribution voltage for powering downstream VI BRICK VTM current multipliers.
