Off-line Power Supply using the FARM AC Front-end Module
An autoranging, high density, low profile switching power supply can be realized using Vicor DC-DC converters and an AC front-end module (FARM).

High Efficiency Battery Charger Using Power Components
An off-line battery charger - using the Unitrode UC3906 battery charger controller chip and a Vicor 2nd Generation DC-DC converter module - provides design flexibility, small size, and high efficiency.

Power Components Simplify 1 kW Power Design
High-density power components simplify the design process. This document outlines a step-by-step design example using off-the-shelf Vicor modular power components as the primary building blocks.

Wide Range Trimming with Variable Loads
The output of Vicor 2nd Generation DC-DC converter modules can be programmed from 10 to110% of their nominal output voltage. Trimming down is easily accomplished with a small low power resistor or potentiometer connected between the SC pin and the -S pin.

Component Power Solutions for Industrial High Voltage Applications
State-of-the-art Vicor 2nd Generation DC-DC converters offer many features that facilitate their integration into a complete power solution.

Phased Array Controller
The Phased Array Controller (PAC) Integrated Circuit enhances the performance of power-sharing arrays of modular DC-DC converters.

Thermal Considerations: Assuring Performance of 2nd Generation High-Density
DC-DC Converter Modules

Dealing with the heat generated by the conversion process should not be underestimated nor overlooked when designing or selecting a power supply.
