High-voltage power-bus converter
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 2/1/2007
Vicor’s high-voltage V•I Chip Bus Converter offers a power density of greater than 1000 W/in3. Designated B352F110T30, the converter employs the company’s Sine Amplitude Converter (SAC) technology and provides better than 95% efficiency. It operates from a 330- to 365-VDC primary bus to deliver an isolated 10.3- to 11.4-V secondary.
The converter can be used individually, or multiple converters can be used in parallel for higher power. In addition, outputs may be connected in series to create higher voltages for applications such as RF amplifiers. The module package measures 1.28x0.87x0.26 in. and is compatible with standard pick-and-place surface-mount machinery and assembly processes. It offers low junction-to-case and junction-to-board thermal resistance to facilitate thermal management and reduce the need for heat sinks.
Base price: $37.40 in OEM quantities. Vicor, www.vicorpower.com.
