Today Vicor released four additional DC-DC converters that are deployed in the rugged, chassis-mountable versions of its DCM™ family of isolated, regulated DC-DC converters. These new products extend the family by adding two 270V and two 28V nominal products to the family. (See Table.)
Applications: DCMs are commonly used in industrial and process control markets, distributed power, ATE, communications, defense/aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing equipment (SME), and transportation.
What’s unique? The DCM family provides the highest densities in a smaller footprint than competitors.

Vicor’s DCM Family Offering
The DCM in a VIA package is an isolated, regulated DC-to-DC converter, operating from an unregulated, wide range input to generate an isolated and regulated output. With its high frequency zero voltage switching (ZVS) topology, the DCM converter consistently delivers high efficiency across the input line range. The DCM provides tight output voltage regulation and offers a secondary-referenced control interface for trim, enable, and remote sense operation. DCM converters and downstream DC-DC products support efficient power distribution, providing superior power system performance and connectivity from a variety of unregulated power sources to the point-of-load.
