Features Product Highlights
Isolated output The VI-J00 MiniMod family established a new standard in component-level DC-DC
Up to 50 Watts per cubic inch converters. This "junior" size complement to the higher power VI-200 family offers up to 100
cURus, cTVus W of isolated and regulated power in a board mounted package. With thousands of
CE Marked input/output/power combinations, and with a maximum operating temperature rating of 100C,
Up to 90% efficiency the MiniMod provides nearly unlimited flexibiliy for power system designers to meet
Size: 2.28" x 2.4" x 0.5" demanding time to market requirements.
(57,9 x 61,0 x 12,7) Utilizing Vicor's "zero-current-switching" forward converter technology, proven by an
Remote sense and current limit installed base of over 8 million units, the MiniMod family combines state of the art power
Logic disable density with the efficiency, low noise and reliability required by next generation power
Wide range output adjust systems.
