VI Brick® Intermediate Bus Converter
Open frame intermediate bus converter
This product is not recommended for new designs. Please use the Power System Designer tool to find a product for your project.
These Intermediate Bus Converter (IBC) modules are very efficient, low-profile, isolated, fixed-ratio converters for power system applications in enterprise and optical access networks. Rated at up to 850W, these IBCs conform to industry-standard eighth- and quarter-brick footprints. The greatly increased power capability often allows the eighth brick to replace a conventional quarter brick, while the quarter bricks can replace two or more conventional quarter bricks. Their leading efficiency enables full-power operation at 65°C with as little as 400LFM airflow. Their small cross section facilitates unimpeded airflow — above and below the thin body — to minimize the temperature rise of downstream components.

Configuring Vicor IBC converters with niPOLs
DC-DC power modules help to bridge the 48V/12V transition
EVs and data centers have transitioned to a 48V architecture to enhance power performance. The new Vicor family of DC-DC converters are aiding that move
Active suspension systems in electric vehicles
48V power systems reduce losses and downsize power designs. Vicor is making the transition from 12V to 48V easier, delivering a competitive advantage
