Micro Family 300V Input DC-DC Converter Module

Category: Electronics, Other Semiconductors, Vicor Corporation

Product Overview

The datasheet presents the Micro Family 300V Input DC-DC Converter Module manufactured by VICOR. This compact power conversion unit occupies an actual size of 2.28 x 1.45 x 0.5in (57.9 x 36.8 x 12.7mm) and offers a range of features that cater to a variety of applications, including industrial and process control systems, medical equipment, automated test equipment (ATE), communications technology, and military or aerospace projects.

Features & Benefits

The converter module displays an impressive array of characteristics starting with a wide DC input range from 180 to 375V and an output range of 3.3 to 48V. It’s designed to handle input surge withstand of 400V for 100ms and provides a programmable output from 10 to 110% of nominal output voltage. The module assures tight regulation with just +0.5% deviation from no load to full load and boasts an efficiency rating of up to 90%. Moreover, the product’s power density is high, achieving up to 90W per cubic inch.

The low-profile design stands only 0.43 inches above the mounting board, facilitating integration into systems where space is at a premium. Additionally, the modules are parallelable for redundancy with N+M fault tolerance and incorporate low-noise Zero-Current Switching/Zero-Voltage Switching (ZCS/ZVS) architecture. Highlighting its adaptability, the module is available with a number of different pin styles, baseplate configurations, and finishes, including RoHS compliant options.

Absolute Maximum Ratings & Environmental Conditions

In the Absolute Maximum Ratings section, the unit is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 100°C under full load conditions, while maintaining a range of isolation voltages between the input, output, and baseplate – emphasizing its robustness and safety features. It also includes detailed storage temperatures and soldering specifications for proper installation and maintenance.

Selection Guide & Part Numbering

The datasheet briefly guides the user through the selection process for this product line, providing product type identifications (V for standard and S for enhanced efficiency models), output voltage and power configurations, product grade classifications with corresponding operating and storage temperature ranges, pin style preferences, and baseplate selections. Smooth integration with existing power systems is further supported by the detailed, exacting standards provided for mounting torque, ensuring that the converter securely attaches to the requisite system substrate.

Notes

It is noted that some configurations may not be available and the user is advised to consult the latest product information for accurate details. All modules also carry a level of certification, and the reader is referred to a ‘Design Guide & Applications Manual’ for further operational guidance.
