DC/DC converter module range expanded

Vicor has added another high-density, high-efficiency, fixed ratio DC/DC converter module to its BCM6123 range. The latest addition, the BCM6123TD1E2663Txx, operates from a 384V DC nominal input and delivers an isolated nominal output of 24V.

Supplied in a through-hole form factor measuring 61 x 23 x 7mm, the device uses the patented Sine-Amplitude Converter topology to offer a peak efficiency of up to 98% and a power density of up to 2400W/in³.Modules can be paralleled to create high power arrays, while outputs can be connected in series for a higher VOUT. With the option of an analogue or a digital signal interface, BCM devices operate in temperatures ranging from -40 to 100˚C.

According to Vicor, the introduction of the 663Txx adds a K=1/16 option to the BCM6123 range. With the K=1/16 model, 500µF of 24V point-of-load capacitance can be effectively provided by 2µF on the module’s primary side.
