Converter’s power density and weight suits aerospace and defence solutions

Vicor announces the DCM5614, an isolated, regulated 270V-28V DC-DC converter with an output power rating of 1300W in a 5.6 x 1.4 x 0.3in (142.2 x 35.6 x 9.4mm) VIA package. 

Providing unmatched power density of 451W/in³ at a weight of just 178g, the DCM5614 supports advanced airborne, shipboard and UAV systems where power density, weight and efficiency are critical. 

With 96% efficiency, power dissipation is significantly reduced, and the innovative planar and thermally adept VIA package enables multiple cooling strategies for enhanced thermal performance. 

Modules can also be easily paralleled for increased power or stacked for increased output voltage.
