BCM4414 - 800V Bus Converter Module
Vicor released BCM4414 which is a new 800V, 1.5kW, isolated, 1/16 fixed-ratio Bus Converter Module able to operate from a 500V to 800V input voltage to deliver SELV output voltages with 97.7% peak efficiency. The new 800V module complements the existing Vicor 700V BCM4414, to create a family of products with reinforced isolation (4,242VDC) and bidirectional voltage conversion capability.
The BCM4414 BCM can be easily paralleled into higher power arrays and the SELV outputs can be stacked (connected in series) for higher output voltages. The BCMs come in a 111 x 36 x 9.3mm VIA (Vicor Integrated Adapter) package which has integrated PMBus communication, EMI filtering, and voltage-transient protection. The VIA’s planar form factor package simplifies heat management and ease of interface to a wide variety of cooling technologies.
The high voltage BCM Family satisfies the need for increased density and performance in Industrial and Military 3-phase AC power supplies and in high-voltage DC transmission systems for tethered unmanned vehicles. The High-Voltage BCM family is available in two variants. The description is as follows:
