Customer’s challenge

Replacing an older radar with a smaller, lighter, and more capable system meant the need for more power in less space. The advanced surveillance radar required a power supply that could be quickly modified to support multiple generations of radars for high-resolution imaging, target tracking, and submarine periscope detection in all weather conditions.

  • Modular power supply that can be quickly modified to support new requirements
  • Reduce time to market and engineering effort
  • Meet specific user-defined output voltage requirements

The Vicor VITA 62-compliant 3U power supply is based on Vicor DCM™ DC-DC converter
technology, which provides superior density in a low-profile package. This solution can
provide up to 600W within the 3U package. Employing high efficiency, two-sided conduction-
cooled modules, the Vicor VITA 62 power supply meets the 85°C operational temperature (at
the card edge) while powering the downstream loads.
