Andover, MA, April 4, 2006…Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) announced the addition of seven mid-power Micro DC-DC converters to the high-density 300 Vdc input family: two 50 W models, one at 3.3 Vout and 5 Vout, and five 75 W models at 12, 15, 24, 28, and 48 Vout. The modules are appropriate for designing off-line power systems for industrial and process control, distributed power, medical, ATE, communications, defense, and aerospace applications.
The addition of these modules doubles the size of the high-power density 300 Vin Micro family, which previously consisted of 100 W at 5 Vout, and 150 W at 12, 15, 24, 28, and 48 Vout. The converters operate from 300 V nominal input, with an input range of 180 V to 375 V, and have power densities up to 90 W/cubic inch with efficiencies up to 90%.
The modules, which are RoHS compliant (with F or G pin option), are 2.28 x 1.45 x 0.5 inch (57,9 x 36,8 x 12,7mm) in size with a height above board of 0.43 inch (10,9mm).
“These mid-power Micros offer customers a cost-effective solution for applications that don’t require the full power capability of the Micro module”, said Robert Marchetti, Manager, Product Marketing.
Pricing for the mid-power Micros begins as low as $0.72/Watt in quantities of 1000, and they are available in standard lead times.
