Vicor has introduced a 28V wide input Maxi family of DC-DC converters. With an input range of 10 to 36V, the modules are appropriate for applications operating from 12 or 24V inputs, which are typical for battery systems in vehicles.

Fully encapsulated, the modules utilise a proprietary spin fill process to assure complete, void free encapsulation making them suitable for the harshest environments.

The MIL-COTS 28Vdc converters offer eight different output voltages ranging from 3.3 to 48V with a maximum power of 200W, and four operating temperature grades, including -55 deg C. Baseplate options include slotted, threaded, and through-hole.

The 10-36V input range should allow designers to specify one converter to operate in both 12 and 24V vehicle systems.
