Input Filters
QPI Family Input Filters – QPIs provide common-mode and differential-mode attenuation from 150 kHz to 30 MHz in a 1.0″ x 1.0″ (25 x 25 mm) surface mount package.
QPI Family Shortform – These QPI filters, optimized for VI BRICKs, are specifically designed to attenuate conducted common-mode (CM) and differential-mode (DM) noise of Vicor’s VI BRICK products to comply with the CISPR22 standard requirements for conducted noise measurements.
- QPI-9LZ – 6 Amp EMI Filter, with integrated Hot-Swap for 24 V VI BRICKs
- QPI-10LZ – 6 Amp EMI Filter, with integrated Hot-Swap for 48 V VI BRICKs
- QPI-11LZ – 7 Amp EMI Filter for 24 V VI BRICKs
- QPI-12LZ – 7 Amp EMI Filter for 48 V VI BRICKs
Output Filters
- 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.
