Vicor Introduces BCM Converter Module with Unprecedented Performance

Filter 18.432M

Andover, Massachusetts, USA - October 19, 2015 – Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today announced the launch of its bus converter Isolated, fixed conversion rate DC-DC converter for the module (BCM?) series Expanded product line. New converter Combines Vicor's sinusoidal amplitude DC-DC conversion technology with Vicor's original thermal-adaptive converter Class-package (ChiP) technology, with more than five times the output power capability, less than 25% heat consumption and four times the power density of current best-in-class products.

These new converters Suitable for rated 48 volt power systems, operating input voltage range is 36 to 60 volts, and provides two conversion factors: one K = 1/4 unit, the output voltage is one quarter of its input voltage, can provide up to 1,950 The power of the watt, another K = 1/6 unit, whose output voltage is one-sixth of its input voltage, can provide up to 1,500 watts of power. These units are housed in a 6123 (61 x 23mm) ChiP through-hole package with a typical 98% operating efficiency and a market leading power density of up to 2,870 W/in3. Configuration options include analog or PMBus control interfaces and commercial or military operating temperature ranges.

Compared to other solutions, these new BCMs require less board area and fewer thermal management and output filter components to help customers configure low-cost 48-volt power systems when used in conjunction with downstream regulators. -- For example, for telecommunications and datacom data centers and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications -- with unprecedented density and efficiency.

Power component design method

Vicor's power component design approach helps power system designers gain the benefits of all modular power component designs—predictable component and system functionality and reliability, fast design cycles, and convenient system configuration, reconfigurability Sexuality and extensibility – at the same time achieve system operating efficiency, power density and economy that are comparable to the best alternatives. Using Vicor's online tools, power system designers can choose from Vicor's extensive, proven product portfolio to optimize the combined power components to build, optimize and simulate their complete power system, from the input source to its point of load. This innovative approach to power system design provides fast time-to-market and state-of-the-art performance while minimizing possible last minute incidents and delays, such as those that often occur with traditional or custom design methods.
