DC-DC Converters for Railway and Transportation Applications

DC-DC Converters - 110 Vdc input series of 24 models of Maxi, Mini, and Micro DC-DC converters.

This new DC-DC Converter - 110V input offering includes eight standard output voltages (3.3, 5, 12, 15, 24, 28, 36, 48 V) in combination with three different package sizes (1/4 brick, Ѕ brick, full brick) with output power ranging from 50W up to 400W depending on the model. The modules are designed for railway and transportation system applications including communication systems, information displays, lighting, control systems, ticket machines, passenger entertainment, public address systems, and power generation systems.

The DC-DC Converter Performance specifications include a wide input voltage range in accordance with EN50155 as well as efficiencies ranging up to 90% for the higher output voltages. The models are available in five different environmental grades, with six different pin options and three baseplate options. They can also be configured in any combination using Vicor PowerBench™, a patented intelligent design system that allows a customer to configure a vast array of custom module designs on-line, and verify them in real time, at www.vicorpower.com.

The modules, which are optionally available in RoHS compliant models, measure, for Maxis: 4.6 x 2.2 x 0.5 inch (117 x 55,9 x 12,7mm); for Minis: 2.28 x 2.2 x 0.5 inch (57,9 x 55,9 x 12,7mm); and for Micros: 2.28 x 1.45 x 0.5 inch (57,9 x 36,8 x 12,7mm) in size with a height above board of 0.43 inch (10,9mm).

Vicor offers tens of thousands of standard and custom high-performance power conversion components delivered worldwide with very short development cycles. The on-line tool suite enables the design of customized brick or configurable power supplies to their exact specifications in minutes.
