Vicor Corporation released the VI BRICKTM Intermediate Bus Converter IBC048 Series. Compared to competing products, this product has twice the power density and only half of the conversion loss. The IBC048 Series replaces the industry standard eighth-brick and quarter-brick 5:1 and 4:1 intermediate bus converters. 300 W and 500 W modules are currently available, with a nominal input voltage of 48 V, an input range from 38 V to 55 V, and an output of 9.6 V or 12 V.
The IBC048 series is compatible with commercially available 1/8 brick and quarter brick relay bus module pins. Since the IBC048 series is based on Vicor's patented sinusoidal amplitude conversion technology, this series of products is essentially different from most bus converters on the market and is technologically superior to them.
The new VI BRICK transit bus module and V accepted by high-end customers. Like the IC, using zero-current and zero-voltage switching as its core technology, the switching frequency of the IBC048 module is 10 times that of today's universal bus converter. Therefore, the transient response time is reduced from 200 microseconds to 20 microseconds. Small requirements for large capacitors. The superior power density and conversion efficiency of the IBC048 module provide competitive advantages for OEMs seeking superior performance in a wide range of applications including computers, data storage, networking and Power over Ethernet.
Product Features: · Industry standard 1/8 brick open IBC module; · Full load efficiency greater than 97%, 98% peak efficiency; · 50% lower power consumption and heat generation than competing products; · Significant power density increase: up to 240W /in2; · Above 50% power density; · 10x switching frequency and low noise topology: Reduced filtering requirements.
Robert Marchetti, senior manager of Vicor's brick modular products business unit, said: "Since the "brick" model was opened up in the 1980s, Vicor invested a large part of its revenue in R&D, with the aim of freeing up the inherent technological know-how. Change the ideas and technologies of existing power element architectures.†Robert added, “Vicor launches this line to address the current shortage of component transfer busbar applications and repackages V.I wafer technology with superior performance into the market's custom brick size. , supply demand."
