Vicor Announces New High Voltage, High-Density Bus Converter
Vicor Corp. announced the availability of a high-voltage V I Chip Bus Converter with a power density of greater than 1000 W/in3. Designated B352F110T30, this BCM™ converter is a high-efficiency (>95%), Sine Amplitude Converter™ (SAC) operating from a 330-365 Vdc primary bus to deliver an isolated 10.3 – 11.4 V secondary.
Used individually or in multiple with paralleled outputs for higher power, the converter offers the highest power density HV dc-dc system for offline ac-dc SMPS and high voltage distribution systems. Additionally, outputs may be connected in series to create higher voltages for applications such as RF amplifiers. This Telecom-grade BCM module – which is a 25% power upgrade over previous high-voltage V I Chips – enables faster, easier design (faster time to market) and offers smaller, more efficient, and higher power density power conversion solutions.
The V I Chip Bus Converter Module package – measuring 1.28" x 0.87" x 0.26" – is compatible with standard pick-and-place surface-mount machinery and assembly processes. It provides flexible thermal management through its low junction-to-case and junction-to-board thermal resistance. Due to its high conversion efficiency and safe operating temperature range, the BCM may not require a heatsink in typical applications.
The Bus Converter Module B352F110T30 is priced at $37.40 in OEM quantities, and is available immediately from stock.
