High-density power modules for bridging 48V and legacy 12V power buses

Vicor non-isolated, regulated DC-DC converter modules operate from a 40 – 60V input, generate a regulated 12V output, and are adjustable from 10V to 12.5V. They support up to 2000W and can be paralleled to attain higher power levels. They are complete converter solutions requiring minimal external components, yielding even higher power density for the complete power delivery network. The DCM has established a new benchmark for pow er density with a low-height, surface mount Converter housed in Package (SM ChiP), resulting in a 6x reduction in size over a conventional converter. With Vicor’s proprietary high-frequen cy switching technology, these modules deliver high efficiency over all line and load conditions. They can be used to es tablish a 12V bus or with legacy down stream point-of-load (PoL) converters. They are ideally suited for bridging 48V and legacy 12V power buses in indus trial, aerospace, defense, and high-per formance computing applications.
