ANDOVER, Mass., 2 May 2008. The Brick Business Unit of Vicor Corp. in Andover, Mass., is introducing the Vicor VI BRICK pre-regulator module (PRM) and voltage transformation module (VTM) current multiplier.
VI Brick PRMs and VTMs provide the factorized power architecture (FPA) benefits such as high power density and efficiency, low-noise operation, architectural flexibility, fast transient response, and elimination of bulk capacitance at the point of load.
VI Brick PRMs and VTMs offer a flexible and scalable architecture for DC-DC power conversion using factorized power in a brick-like package designed for efficient thermal management. The architecture offers several outputs, high power arrays, high-current/low voltage, and high voltage.
These models include six PRMs, which perform the regulation function, and 12 VTMs that take the "factorized bus voltage" from the PRM and provide transformation and isolation.
VI Brick models are available in versions that operate in temperatures from –40 to 100 degrees Celsius, with a slotted-flange baseplate and through-hole pin style. For more information contact Vicor online at www.vicorpower.com.
