Category: Electronics, Other Semiconductors, Vicor Corporation

Product Overview

The datasheet provides detailed information on the VICOR 24V Micro Family DC-DC Converter Module designed for various applications including industrial and process control, medical equipment, Automated Test Equipment (ATE), communications, defense, and aerospace. These converter modules offer high performance through advanced power processing, control, and packaging technologies.

Features & Benefits

The DC-DC converter module features an input voltage range of 18 to 36V and offers isolated outputs that are operational down to 16V at 75% power after startup. Input surge withstand capability is highlighted at 50V for 100ms. The DC output voltage range is from 3.3V to 48V, and the output is programmable from 10 to 110%. Moreover, these modules boast an efficiency of up to 89% and can withstand operating temperatures of up to 100°C at full load with a power density of 91 Watts per cubic inch. The zero-current switching/zero-voltage switching (ZCS/ZVS) architecture is noted to reduce noise and enhance efficiency.

Regulation & Isolation

Regulatory performance is noted to maintain within +0.4%, from no load to full load conditions. Isolation voltage ratings are specified as 3000 VRMS from input to output, 1500 VRMS from input to base, and 500 VRMS from output to base.

Absolute Maximum Ratings & Operating Conditions

The datasheet outlines the absolute maximum ratings for the module, including input to output voltage, PC to base voltage, and other critical parameters. Environmental operating conditions are provided, specifying operating temperatures from -55°C to +100°C and storage temperatures from -65°C to +125°C. Pin soldering temperatures and mounting torque are also indicated to ensure proper installation.

Product Variants & Part Numbering

Different variants are available based on output power, grade, pin style, finish, and baseplate configurations, with specific details listed for output power ranging from 50W to 150W across different output voltages. The part numbering section elucidates how to interpret the part numbers, taking into account product type, product grade for operating and storage temperatures, output power, output voltage, pin style, finish, and baseplate specifications. An example part number (VZ4C1ZTIOOBL2) is provided for reference.
