Product Highlights
The VI-200 family, with over 14 million units shipped, is Vicor’s broad series of
“zero-current-switching” component-level DC-DC converters.
Operating at frequencies up to 2MHz, VI-200 family converters offer exceptional power
density, efficiency, noise performance, reliability and ease of use. Booster modules
(VI-Bxx) provide a simple, cost-effective, off-the-shelf solution for higher power output
requirements. One or more boosters may be used to create synchronous arrays capable
of supplying several kilowatts of output power.
The flexibility of Vicor’s power components is also available in half-size, half-power
VI-J00 MiniMods.

Output Connections and Considerations
The permissible load current
[e] must never be exceeded during
normal, abnormal or test conditions. Converters subject to
dynamic loading exceeding 25% of rated current must be
reviewed by Vicor Applications Engineering to ensure that the
converter will operate properly.
Under dynamic load, light load, or no load conditions, the
converter may emit audible noise. Converters that utilize remote
sense may require compensation circuitry to offset the phase
lag caused by the external output leads and load impedance.
Remote Sense leads must be protected for conditions such as
lead reversal, noise pickup, open circuit, or excessive output lead
resistance between the sense point and the converters output
terminals. For applications that may draw more than the rated
current, a fast acting electronic circuit breaker must be utilized
to protect the converter. Under no circumstance should the
rated current be exceeded. Utilizing or testing of current limit or
short circuit current will damage the converter. Ensure that the
total output capacitance connected to the converter does not
exceed the limits on Page 4.
Storage
Vicor products, when not installed in customer units, should
be stored in ESD safe packaging in accordance with
ANSI/ESD S20.20, “Protection of Electrical and Electronic
Parts, Assemblies and Equipment” and should be maintained
in a temperature controlled factory/warehouse environment
not exposed to outside elements controlled between the
temperature ranges of 15ºC and 38ºC. Humidity shall not be
condensing, no minimum humidity when stored in an ESD
compliant package.
