This series now covers critical applications in aerospace, EV/HEV, rugged systems, industrial and telecom/datacom. DCMs accept nominal input voltages of 24, 28, 48, 270, 290, and 300V, have nominal outputs of 48, 36, 28, 24, 15, 12, and 5V and are available in packages with outputs of up to 600W.
DCMs can be coupled with Vicor FPA and/or ZVS regulators enabling full power solutions that deliver dense, efficient, and scalable source-to-load power. Designers can couple DCMs downstream with Vicor's ChiP and SiP (system in package) point-of-load regulators, thereby enabling an integrated, complete power solution delivering dense, efficient, and scalable source-to-load power.Such a combination of differentiated products, reflecting Vicor's Power Component Design Methodology, provides unsurpassed performance, ease of use, and total cost of ownership.
By using Vicor's DC-ZVS topology within the DCM Series, 93% typical efficiency can be achieved, along with power density exceeding two times that of conventional DC/DC converters. With power density up to 76W/cm3, DCMs enable engineers to optimise end systems for size, space, and weight.In addition, up to eight DCMs can be paralleled in an array without de-rating or additional circuitry.When configured in such an array, up to a 4.8kW DC/DC solution can be achieved.
Vicor's DCMs are available in two through-hole packages: a 46 x 23mm ChiP package capable of up to 600W of power and a 36 x 23mm ChiP package capable of up to 320W of power.
