Redefining power delivery networks with fixed‑ratio converters
This white paper discusses the fixed ratio, DC DC converter and why designers should consider it an essential part of the power delivery architecture
NBMs are fixed ratio (non-regulating) non-isolated, bidirectional DC-DC converters. These patented high-performance power modules provide a complete DC-DC solution and do not require an external input filter or bulk capacitors. In addition, the NBM2317 features built-in hot-swap capability and inrush current limiting. Fast transient response is supported by the NBM’s low output impedance. The NBM family of converters are available in through-hole Converter housed in Package (ChiP™) and Surface Mount (SM-ChiP™) board-mount packages. All manufacturing is performed in the Vicor state-of-the-art ChiP™ fab located in Andover, Massachusetts.
