The combination of 840 W/in³ power density and 94.5% efficiency from a half-inch square, ‘half-chip’ V•I Chip package enables the VIB0101THJ to achieve a 75% reduction in overall power-system volume compared to equivalent power-rated modules.

The first of the new 1/32nd bricks, the VIB0101THJ Bus Converter Module (BCM™) provides an easy, fast and flexible approach to achieving higher overall system efficiency combined with reduced board-space and cost.

Rated at 120W, the VIB0101THJ operates from a 38 to 55 Vdc primary bus to provide an isolated 12 V nominal, unregulated secondary. This can be used to power non-isolated POL converters or as an isolated voltage source for ATE, server, telecom and industrial control applications.

The VIB0101THJ’s Sine Amplitude Converter (SAC™) enables low-impedance interconnect and a reduction of x16 in capacitance which eliminates the need for limited-life aluminium electrolytic, or costly tantalum bulk capacitors. Thermal management is simplified by the low junction-to-board and junction-to-case thermal resistance of the V•I Chip package, which is compatible with standard pick-and-place and surface-mount assembly processes.

Complete power-train conversion, from 380 Vdc to a standard 48 Vdc rail, can be achieved with a new Bus Conversion Module (BCM™) from V•I Chip Corporation, The VIB0002TFJ features a MHz-switching zero-voltage switching (ZVS™), zero-current switching (ZCS™), sine amplitude converter (SAC™) to achieve a high power density of 1,150 W/in3 and over 95% efficiency. In eco-array configurations, efficiency is over 90% from a 10% light-load, to full-load at multi-kW power levels. Established factorised power architecture components supply an easy and efficient step from the 48 Vdc rail to high-current, sub-1 V loads.

The exceptional flexibility and compact, 1/16th brick footprint of the VIB0002TFJ allow system designers to locate the power conversion stage per rack, per shelf or even per individual processor blade, whilst compatibility with standard pick-and-place and surface-mount assembly processes minimises manufacturing costs.

Built in stainless steel, the stunning, 25-metre boat is manufactured by Kopf-Solarschiff for use as a sightseeing ferry with a capacity of up to 110 passengers and a range of up to 90 kilometres.

A charge regulator, designed and manufactured by Uhlmann Solar with specialist support from Vicor is used to convert power from the solar panels into two batteries operating at different voltages: a 24 V battery is used to power the lighting and audio system, whilst a 300 V battery provides the drive power for the boat.

Uhlmann Solar used four Vicor DC-DC converters in series to step up the voltage to that required by the battery powering the drive system. For the latest application note and more information about using Vicor modules in series click here.

Two further DC-DC converters were used to power the lighting and audio system. The compact packages of the Vicor modules also helped to keep the mounting costs low.

Uhlmann Solar have also used Vicor converters to create other special DC-DC converters, designed for specific customer applications.
