Product Highlights
The FARM (Filter/Autoranging Rectifier
Module) is an AC front-end module which
provides EMI filtering, autoranging line
rectification and inrush current limiting. The
FARM is available in either 500/750 W or
750/1000 W models in a mini sized package
measuring only 2.28" x 2.2" x 0.5".

The FARM interfaces directly with

worldwide AC mains and may be used with
Vicor 300 V input DC-DC converters to
realize an autoranging, high density, low
profile switching power supply. The FARM
includes a microcontroller that continuously
monitors the AC line to control bridge /
doubler operation. The user need only
provide external capacitance to satisfy
system hold-up requirements.
