Product Highlights
Vicor’s MegaMod and MegaMod Jr.
Families of single, dual and triple output
DC-DC converters provide power system
designers with cost effective, high
performance, off-the-shelf solutions to
applications that might otherwise require a
custom supply.
Incorporating standard VI-200 or VI-J00
Family converters in rugged, chassis
mount packages, MegaMod and MegaMod
Jr.’s can be ordered with single, dual or
triple outputs, having a combined output
power of up to 600 W. Totally isolated
outputs eliminate efficiency penalties and
output interaction problems.
