24V Micro Family DC-DC Converter Module

Category: Electronics, Other Semiconductors, Vicor Corporation

Product Overview

The 24V Micro Family DC-DC Converter Module by VICOR is designed to offer high-performance power conversion for a broad range of applications. The actual size of the module is 2.28 x 1.45 x 0.5 inches (57.9 x 36.8 x 12.7mm), and it has been constructed using advanced power processing, control, and packaging technologies. This product is optimal for use in industrial and process control, medical equipment, automated test equipment (ATE), communications, and defense and aerospace sectors.

Features & Benefits

This series of converters features an input voltage range of 18 to 36V DC and offers isolated outputs from 3.3V to 48V DC with a maximum operating temperature allowance of 100°C at full load. The output is programmable from 10 to 110% of the specified value. High efficiency, cited to be up to 89%, and power density, 91W per cubic inch, make the module a reliable and efficient power solution. Additional characteristics include regulation within ±0.4% from no load to full load, parallelability with N+M fault tolerance, and a low-noise Zero-Current Switching (ZCS)/Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) architecture. It’s also RoHS compliant when optioned with either the F or G pin.

Absolute Maximum Ratings and Operation Temperatures

VICOR’s 24V Micro Family modules can withstand input surges of up to 50V for 100 milliseconds and can operate with input voltage ranging from -0.5V to +53V. They are designed to handle an operating temperature range from -55°C to +100°C for M-Grade components, with storage temperatures between -65°C and +125°C. The unit can handle isolation voltage from input to output at 3000 Vrms, from the input to base at 1500 Vrms, and output to base at 500 Vrms, ensuring safe and isolated operation.

Part Numbering System

The part numbering system for these DC-DC converters, like VZ4C1ZTIOOBLZ, provides information on configurations such as the product type, grade, output power, pin style, and finish, indicating customizability to meet specific requirements. For instance, the product grade represents different operating and storage temperatures, ensuring suitability across varying environmental conditions.

Additional Characteristics

Units are also characterized by mounting torque, pin soldering temperature, and product marking. They can be procured in different finishes and with varying pin styles including short, long, and extra-long, aside from having optional baseplate features such as slotted or threaded through-hole designs.
