ANDOVER, MA--(Marketwired - May 20, 2014) - Vicor Corporation (
HD Brick Series DC-to-DC converters enable system designers to harness more power in less space than with competing brick-based products and Vicor's earlier generation Maxi, Mini and Micro DC-to-DC converters. The first two standard offerings in Vicor's HD Brick Series portfolio are a 320 W HD Brick with nominal 28 Vin (16 - to 50 V input range) and 28 Vout, in a 48.6 x 46.5 x 16mm package, and a 400 W HD Brick with nominal 300 Vin (180 - 420 V input range) and 12 Vout, in a 57 x 46.5 x 16mm package. These DC-DC converters are available in flange and flangeless versions, can operate in harsh environments, and support three temperature grades, including operation to -55°C.
