Product Highlights
The VI-200 family, with over 14 million units shipped, is Vicor’s broad series of
“zero-current-switching” component-level DC-DC converters.
Operating at frequencies up to 2MHz, VI-200 family converters offer exceptional power
density, efficiency, noise performance, reliability and ease of use. Booster modules
(VI-Bxx) provide a simple, cost-effective, off-the-shelf solution for higher power output
requirements. One or more boosters may be used to create synchronous arrays capable
of supplying several kilowatts of output power.
The flexibility of Vicor’s power components is also available in half-size, half-power
VI-J00 MiniMods.
