A Vicor product story

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Apr 15, 2010

Elements of Westcor's configurable power supplies have been added to Vicor's range of military commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products.

They include, specifically: PFC Mini MI and PFC Micro/MicroS MI power-factor-corrected AC/DC switchers; PFC MegaPAC MI power-factor-corrected AC/DC switcher; and FlatPAC-EN MI, an EN-compliant auto-ranging switcher.

The existing Vicor MIL-COTS power components - Maxi, Mini and Micro DC/DC converters; MI-200/MI-J00 DC/DC converters; Vipac configurable power systems, and VI Chip and VI Brick modules - have earned acceptance in MIL-COTS applications where high performance, reliability, and low cost are critical.

All four of the new members of the rugged MIL-COTS family meet the vibration and shock requirements of MIL-STD-810.

The three power-factor-corrected switchers meet MIL-STD-704F and MIL-STD-1399C for transients and overvoltage.

All four comply with conducted emissions requirements of EN55022 Class A and Class B (configuration dependent).

MIL-STD-461E will require an external filter.
