Vicor VIPAC Power System 50 – 900 Watt - Manual (Page 2)

Product Description cont.
2
Vicor’s Maxi, Mini, Micro Family DC-DC converters, in industry standard quarter, half and full
brick packages, are used to deliver output voltages from 2 to 48 Vdc. Additionally, the wide
trim range of the modules can provide operating voltages as low as 500 mV.
The PPU is comprised of:
• AC input modular front-end
• Vicor’s Maxi, Mini, Micro Family, high density DC-DC converters
• Coldplate or finned chassis
• User interface
• Choice of output termination styles
The VIPAC is offered in several chassis configurations facilitating its use in a variety of
applications using either conduction, convection or forced convection cooling. The low
profile, conduction cooled version may be mounted to an existing cabinet wall, coldplate or
heat sink. The 0.5" or 1" finned versions, available in longitudinal or transverse
configurations, are ideal for use in free or forced convection environments.
VIPACs use remotely located capacitors to facilitate packaging and placement options not
previously available. The low profile PPU can be placed closer to the load or attached to
cabinet walls while the capacitors may be integrated into the host system away from heat
sources for improved reliability. System hold-up / ride-thru requirements can also be tailored
for specific applications via different value capacitors. The hold-up capacitors may be
obtained from Vicor as a prepackaged hold-up box (HUB). VIPAC is a new class of flexible,
high density power solutions.
