Product Highlights
The BatMod combines Vicor’s industry standard
package with the flexibility of a power converter
whose output voltage and output current may be
independently set. BatMod’s allow the user to
independently program a constant output current
and a maximum float voltage. The float voltage is
the point at which the BatMod transitions from
constant current to constant voltage. These
features make the BatMod an ideal candidate for
battery charging and other applications which
require a controlled current source.
