LONG BEACH, CA — (Marketwire) — 03/18/13 — Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today unveiled new user-configurability capabilities for its high-performance VI Chip® PRM® modules. The new PowerBench tool suite equips designers to customize and simulate efficient PRM modules for use as PoL buck-boost regulators or to drive VTM® current multipliers and meet a broad range of PoL power requirements.
Vicor-s easy to use PowerBench online tool suite gives designers the flexibility to specify the voltage, current and protection parameters of their PRM module and immediately simulate their models in application-specific operating conditions.
Incorporating Vicor-s high-frequency ZVS buck-boost technology, customer-configurable VI Chip PRM modules can deliver up to 500 Watts at over 97% efficiency, at unprecedented power densities of up to 1,700 W/in3 (103 W/cm3). Models are available in both full-chip and half-chip packages with input voltage ranges of both 36 – 75 V and 38 – 55 V, and, when used as a PoL buck-boost regulator, provides a user-defined output between 26 V and 52 V. When used with VI Chip VTM current multiplier modules, PRMs efficiently support output voltages from 0.5 V to 55 Vdc.
Vicor-s online PowerBench tools afford designers a fast and efficient pathway to customizing VI Chip PRM modules to meet their exacting requirements for high-power applications. Data sheets, part numbers and pricing information are provided for designers- uniquely-configured devices, and devices are shipped to customers within 5 business days.
“With this new capability, designers have more control over device performance, can protect downstream devices, simplify and — with a 5 day turnaround — significantly speed up designs,” said Steve Oliver, VP of VI Chip Marketing, Vicor. “Vicor-s automated manufacturing capabilities enable an exceptional level of functionality at an everyday price.”
Vicor-s online configuration tool for its VI Chip PRM modules is available for use today via Vicor-s PowerBench online design center. For more information and to get started with the new online configuration tool, visit Vicor-s .
Vicor will be demonstrating its new configurable VI Chip PRM modules and online design tools this week at APEC 2013. Attendees can visit Vicor in Booth # 731.
