Provides 1300W output power in the VIA package
Reduces power consumption with 96% efficiency in a flat design


Vicor released the 270V-28V DC-DC converter 'DCM5614' on the 22nd.

The DCM5614, providing isolation and regulation, delivers 1,300W of output power in a 5.6×1.4×0.3-inch VIA™ package. Weighing 178g, it offers a power density of 451W/ ^in³ , making it suitable for high-end aviation, marine, and UAV systems that prioritize power density, weight, and efficiency.

The VIA package significantly reduces power consumption with 96% efficiency, is flat, which is advantageous for heat treatment, and allows for various cooling designs to improve thermal management performance. In addition, power can be increased by arranging modules in parallel, or output voltage can be increased by arranging them in stacked order.

The input range is 180 to 400V _DC , and features include a 28V nominal output, 2121V _DC isolation, ZVS·ZCS high-frequency switching, OV·OC·UV short circuit and overheat protection, full operating current limiting, and PMBus® management or analog control interface.

The DCM5614, available in chassis or PCB-mount form, integrates a DC-DC converter, inrush current protection, and analog or digital communication options.

The optional PMBus auxiliary reference compatible remote control interface provides access to the DCM5614's internal controller configuration, error monitoring, and other telemetry functions.

Meanwhile, the DCM module leverages the thermal management and power advantages of VIA packaging technology to provide flexible mechanical mounting options with low thermal resistance at the top and bottom. Power system designers can use the DCM in conjunction with downstream regulators and PoL current multipliers to achieve high-performance, low-cost power system solutions.
