Vicor announced the newest additions to the IBC 050 and IBC 048 series of VI BRICK intermediate bus converters. The new family already comprises over 12 models, in eighth- and quarter-brick formats, delivering from 300 W up to 750 W.
The latest model is the IB050Q096T70N1-00, a high-power, 5:1 conversion ratio, open-frame drop-in replacement for industry-standard intermediate bus converters. It operates from a wide input voltage range of 36 to 60 V at power levels of up to 750 W, with 2250 V d.c. isolation from input to output, while achieving over 98% peak efficiency. The device delivers an output bus voltage of 7 to 12 V, while other family members with 4:1 conversion output 8,7 to 15 V. The family includes standard 38 to 55 V input range converters (IBC 048) as well as the wide-input IBC 050 types.
In all cases the modules are compliant with ETSI EN300 132-2 for 48 V telecom applications, and their high input-to-output isolation complies with IEEE 802.3 power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standards. IBC 048 and 050 VI BRICK bus converters use Vicor’s ‘Sine Amplitude Converter’ technology, with a 1 MHz switching frequency, fast transient response, low harmonic emissions and elimination of external bulk storage capacitors. The IB050Q096T70N1-00 also removes the need for heatsinks. Full power is available at 55°C ambient and only 200 LFM of airflow. The product’s standard quarter-brick outline of 58,4 x 36,8 mm has a profile of just 10,5 mm.
