Project Description

Description

The VME Power Supply Family – filtered 28 Vdc, up to four outputs (3.3, 5, ±12 V), up to 550 W – is a MIL-COTS solution that is compliant to the input transients per MIL-STD-704F (VME450) or MIL-STD-704A/F and MIL-STD-1275D (VME450G and VME225) as well as the vibration requirements per MIL-STD-810F and EMI per MIL-STD-461E. When compared to conventional technology VME power supplies, VME family provides users with higher efficiency (up to 85%), lower weight (VME450 – 2.4 lbs, VME225 – 1.2 lbs ), and higher power (up to 550 W). Built with Vicor V•I Chips, it uses M-FIAM modules, and MIL-COTS PRMs and VTMs.

An extended heat sink version of the VME450 and VME450G are also available.
