Description
Features & Benefits
The DCM is an isolated, highly efficient, regulated DC-DC converter
utilizing high frequency zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topology,
operating from an unregulated, wide range input to generate an
isolated output. Modular DCM converters and downstream DC-DC
products support efficient power distribution, providing superior
power system performance and connectivity from a variety of
unregulated power sources to the point of load. Leveraging the
thermal and density benefits of Vicor’s ChiP packaging technology,
the DCM ChiP module offers flexible thermal management options
with very low top and bottom side thermal impedances while the
DCM VIA module additionally provides integrated EMI filtering,
tight output voltage regulation, and a secondary-referenced
control interface while retaining the fundamental design benefits
of the conventional brick architecture.
• Up to 600W, 43.5A continuous
• 93% peak efficiency
• Up to 1244W/in3 power density
• Up to 4,242VDC isolation
• ZVS high frequency switching
• Fully operational current limit
• OV, OC, UV, short circuit and thermal protection
• Integrated filtering, remote or local sense, enhanced
thermal management, and tight output voltage regulation
over all lines and load conditions for DCM VIA applications
