Description
VIPAC Arrays are a highly flexible system of DC input, power building-blocks that can be configured with as many as four user-definable outputs on a low-profile, coldplate chassis. Using Vicor’s PowerBench design tool, designers are able to specify VIPAC Arrays with Maxi, Mini and Micro product series H- or M-Grade converters with inputs of 24, 28 or 300 Vdc and outputs from 2 to 48 Vdc at power levels up to 500 watts per output. VIPAC Arrays are ideal for use in distributed and modular power systems where power density and reliable operation are critical. A current share option is available on single output models enabling them to be used in applications requiring high power / redundancy. Fully connectorized input and output terminations speed system installation and a versatile coldplate chassis simplifies thermal management.

Output Filters
- MicroRAM – Output Ripple Attenuator Module – The MicoRAM conbines both active and passive filtering to achieve greater than 40 dB of noise attenuation from over a range of 3 to 30 Vdc.
- QPO Family Output Filters – QPO filters use active filtering to reduce power supply ripple and noise in a 1.0″ x 1.0″ (25 x 25 mm) surface mount package.
