Vicor designs and produces modular military COTS power components and complete power supply systems for the military electronics market. With power densities of up to 414W/in³ and a variety of input and output voltage choices, Vicor offers the widest selection of commercial-off-the-shelf modules in the industry. Customers can enjoy the advantages that Vicor components offer – compact, highly functional, economical products with streamlined development cycles that minimize time to market.

Our highly automated, 230,000ft² manufacturing facility is ISO9001-2000 registered and has a complete environmental and EMI lab.

MILITARY COTS DC-DC V•I CHIP MODULES

The V•I chip Pre-Regulator Module (PRM) is a very efficient non-isolated regulator capable of both boosting and bucking a wide range input voltage of 16V to 50V. It is specifically designed to provide a controlled factorized bus distribution voltage for powering downstream V•I chip Voltage Transformation Modules (VTMs) – fast, efficient, isolated, low noise Point-Of-Load (POL) converters with output voltages ranging from 1V to 50V.

In combination, PRMs and VTMs form a complete DC-DC converter subsystem offering all of the unique benefits of Vicor's Factorized Power Architecture (FPA): high density and efficiency; low noise operation; architectural flexibility; extremely fast transient response; and elimination of bulk capacitance at the POL.

MILITARY COTS DC-DC CONVERTER MODULES

These highly flexible power converters are available in eight standard input voltages and can be configured to any output voltage from 2V to 48V. Wide input range models for 28V and 270V power systems are offered to meet the power requirements of MIL-STD-1275 and MIL-STD-704.

Vicor's proprietary spin fill process assures complete void free encapsulation, making these converters suitable for the harshest environments. 100% environmental screening is standard and all product families have been tested and qualified to severe limits of MIL-STD-810: shock, vibration, acceleration, explosive atmosphere and humidity.

Also now available is Vicor's patented Custom Module Design System (CMDS), which enables customers to specify on-line, and verify in real time, the performance and attributes of micro, mini, and maxi DC-DC converters.

MILITARY COTS FILTER MODULES – EMI AND TRANSIENT PROTECTION

Vicor offers DC front-end modules that provide both EMI and transient protection in a single 'half-brick' package. 28V and 270V models are available to meet the requirements of MIL-STD-461 for EMI, and MIL-STD-1275 and MIL-STD-704 for transient protection.

MILITARY COTS CONFIGURABLE POWER SYSTEMS

These highly flexible DC power systems can be configured with up to four outputs with a maximum power of 600W per output. They are available in 28V and 270V inputs, with selectable outputs from 2V to 48V. Models with integral front-end filtering for EMI and transient protection are also available.

MILITARY COTS CUSTOM POWER SUPPLIES

Vicor and its affiliates offer a custom design and build service to meet the most challenging requirements. Utilizing Vicor's flexible power components allows designers to achieve the highest power density in whatever package is needed and deliver a unique power system in the shortest time and at the lowest cost.
