Achieving higher power density with good-old Si MOSFETs
Minimizing tradeoffs and workarounds using high voltages and modular power approach to power systems design give longevity to the Si MOSFET
NBM™ Non-isolated Bus Converter Module
Bidirectional power converters
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.
