Electronica 2012 <\/strong>\u2013 Munich, Germany \u2013 13 November, 2012 \u2013<\/strong> Vicor\u2122<\/sup> Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today announced the VI BRICK\u00ae<\/sup> AC Front End module for high, density, high efficiency AC to DC power conversion. This new module is a complete AC\u2013DC converter which operates over the universal AC input range of 85-264V to deliver a fully isolated and PFC regulated 48V output. In a low profile package measuring 3.75 x1.91 inches (95.3mm x 48.6mm) and only<\/p>\n\n

0.38 inches (9.55 mm) in height, the AC Front End module provides a power conversion density of 121 W\/in3<\/sup> (7.5W\/cm3<\/sup>) or 54 W\/in3 <\/sup>for a completesupply that includes all necessary components including hold-up capacitance.<\/p>\n\n

Every electronic product or system that operates off of an AC utility line must incorporate an<\/p>\n\n

AC-DC front-end to convert the AC utility voltage into the smooth DC voltage required by electronic circuitry. As the \u201cfirewall\u201d between the utility and the customer\u2019s electronics, a contemporary front-end must perform complex tasks \u2013 such as power factor correction and noise reduction \u2013 to meet the stringent requirements of international regulatory agencies. The Vicor AC Front End module, with its integrated rectification, filtering and transient protection, enables customers to configure a complete front end system that meets IEC 61000-3-2 harmonic noise and Class B EMI conducted emission limits supplying 330W to external output storage capacitance. Its comprehensive performance features give customers the ability to simplify their regulatory certification processes and streamline their power system designs.<\/p>\n\n

With its proprietary Double-Clamp ZVS high switching frequency topology<\/a>, the AC Front End module achieves consistently high efficiency \u2013 up to 92% \u2013 across its entire AC input voltage range, including operation down to 85VAC<\/sub> and cuts power losses by more than 50% compared to competing offerings. The AC Front End also simplifies the customers\u2019 cooling requirements, reducing both the size and cost of cooling components.<\/p>\n\n

\u2026.\/\u2026<\/p>\n\n

\u201cFrom the wall plug to the point of load, Vicor provides low profile, high density, high efficiency power components that enable the most versatile and tightly-integrated power systems on the market today,\u201d said Rob Russell, Vice President, Brick product line, Vicor. \u201cThis AC Front End module based on performance- proven VI Chip technology now expands Vicor\u2019s brick product line into AC-DC applications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The new VI BRICK\u00ae<\/sup> AC Front End module is compatible with a wide variety of downstream<\/p>\n\n

DC\u2013DC power conversion components including Vicor\u2019s comprehensive portfolio of high-density, high efficiency, VI Chip and VI BRICK converters. When used with downstream DC\u2013DC converters which support secondary-side energy storage and efficient power distribution, the AC Front End module provides superior power system performance and connectivity from the wall plug to the point of load and enables customers to design reliable and cost-effective power systems.<\/p>\n\n
