Summary: The DCM in a ChiP package is an isolated, regulated DC-DC converter, operating from an unregulated, wide range input to generate an isolated DC output. With its high frequency zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topology, the DCM converter consistently delivers high efficiency across the input line range. Modular DCM converters and downstream DC-DC products support
efficient power distribution, providing superior power system performance and connectivity from a variety of unregulated power sources to the point-of-load.

Announced today:

Table 1 – Vicor's DCM Family – Items in green are newly released, others were previously announced.

Aimed at a variety of applications, including UAV, ground vehicle, radar, transportation and industrial controls, Vicor has added four new 30 V input nominal modules (9 – 50V range) in a 3623 Chip package (1.52 x 0.90 x 0.29 in). These converters have output voltages of
5, 24, 28, and 48V, and power levels up to 160W, achieving a power density up to 404 W/in³. Also announced is a 28V input nominal module (16 – 50V range) in a 3623 ChiP package with a 3.3V output at 120W, a 375W module with a nominal input voltage of 275V
(120 – 420V) and 12V output in a 4623 ChiP package, and a 270V input nominal module (160 – 420V range) in a 4623 ChiP package with a 48V output at 500W (1.89 x 0.90 x 0.29 in), achieving a power density of 1,014 W/in³.

Power Component Design Methodology

Vicor’s Power Component Design Methodology enables power system designers to reap all of the benefits of modular power component design – predictable component and system functionality and reliability, fast design cycles, and easy system configurability, re-configurability and scaling – while achieving system operating efficiency, power density and economy that rival the best alternative solutions. Utilizing Vicor’s Power System Designer, engineers can select from an extensive portfolio of proven Vicor power components to architect, optimize and simulate their complete power system, all the way from their input sources to their points of load. This innovative approach to power system design delivers fast time-to-market and state-of-the-art performance while minimizing the possibility of last minute surprises and delays that so often occur with conventional or custom design methodologies.
