Micro Family 300V Input DC-DC Converter Module Datasheet

Category: Electronics, Other Semiconductors, Vicor Corporation

Product Overview

The Micro Family 300V Input DC-DC Converter Module by VICOR is a compact and efficient power solution designed for a wide range of applications, including industrial, medical, and defense systems. These converter modules benefit from advanced power processing, control, and packaging technologies that translate into both performance and cost-effectiveness. They deliver high power density, up to 90W per cubic inch, thanks to their high-frequency Zero-Current Switching (ZCS)/Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) architecture, which also minimizes noise and maximizes efficiency.

Key Features & Benefits

Key features include a DC input range of 180 – 375V and a programmable output ranging from 10% to 110% of the nominal voltage. These modules also withstand input surges up to 400V for 100ms, have an output voltage of 3.3 – 48V, and maintain regulation within ±0.5% from no load to full load conditions. The efficiency of these modules can reach up to 90%, facilitating energy savings in operation. Additionally, with a maximum operating temperature of 100°C at full load, these modules are robust and can handle extreme conditions. The converter modules are designed with isolation voltage ratings of 3000Vrms (input to output), 1500Vrms (input to base), and 500Vrms (output to base), providing excellent electrical isolation and safety.

Physical Characteristics

Physical design merits mention, with the actual converter size being just 2.28 x 1.45 x 0.5 in (57.9 x 36.8 x 12.7mm) and mounting at a height of only 0.43 in (10.9mm) above the board. This allows for a compact footprint in various systems. The modules are also parallelable, catering to applications that require N+M fault tolerance.

Environmental & Compliance

Environmental resilience is assured with an operating temperature range of various grades, from -55°C to +100°C, and storage temperatures from -65°C to +125°C. For those concerned with environmental regulations, the modules are RoHS compliant with specific pin finish options.

Ordering Information

When ordering, the datasheet details the part numbering system which includes options for output power, voltage, and grade. Output power options range from 50W up to 150W, and the modules come in multiple configurations to meet user-specific needs. Pin styles and finishes are customizable, having options such as short or long leads in tin-lead or gold, and RoHS-compliant finishes. Additionally, users can select from slotted or threaded through-hole baseplates.

Important Information

For safe and proper operation of the Micro Family 300V Input DC-DC Converter Modules, reference to the Design Guide & Applications Manual for Maxi_Mini_Micro Family is recommended. Note that certain configurations may be unavailable, and actual product images might differ in markings and aesthetic details from those shown, as per the datasheet revision 10.8 dated October 2022.
