Powering Multiple VTMs with a Single PRM

(PDF, 3 pages, 271k)

This Application Note discusses design practices for using Vicor's V•I Chip PRM and VTM to meet the challenge of power systems that require lower voltages, more current, and multiple voltages within one system. Vicor's V•I Chips can address these challenges.

Off-line Power Supply using the FARM AC Front End Module
(5 page, 159k)
An autoranging, high density, low profile switching power supply can be realized using Vicor DC-DC converters and an AC front-end module (FARM).
Line Filter, VI-HAM Harmonic Attenuator Module
(1 page, 56k)
The VI-HAM Harmonic Attenuator Module requires an external filter to meet international standards for EMI / RFI emissions, and incorporates transient surge protection.
Active PFC for Electronic Power Supplies
(2 pages, 24k)
When choosing a strategy for PFC, it is essential to recognize that the poor power factor occurring in electronic power conversion equipment is entirely different from the traditional poor power factor seen with inductive motor loads, and requires a different corrective approach.
