The MI-RAM is designed for applications where extremely low noise outputs are required. When used with any Vicor MI-series DC-DC converter, the MI-RAM reduces both line frequency related ripple and switching noise to less than 10 mV p-p, DC to 20 MHz. The combination of the MI-RAM with an MI-series converter provides the output noise performance of a linear supply at a power density in excess of 15 W/in³.

All of the features of the MI-series converter remain available while using the MI-RAM including output voltage trimming, OVP and OTP (MI-200 only), current limiting, remote sense, and logic enable / disable.

Fully encapsulated in a low profile package enables the MI-RAM to meet MIL-STD-810 environmental testing requirements.
