Vicor’s new DCM2322 ChiP family is a lower-power and
smaller package variant of its DCM3623 family and provides power system
engineers a smaller footprint option with input voltage ranges that meet
multiple EN50155 standards. Modern rail infrastructure requires a wide range of
DC-DC converters to power a variety of new safety systems and passenger
services, says Vicor, as well as creating a need for performance improvements
in existing systems for both freight and commuter markets. Power density,
efficiency and ease of use are critical considerations when designing isolated,
regulated DC-DC converter systems for modern rail applications.
Packaged in a 22 x 23 x 7 mm ChiP, the new series offers
engineers wide input voltage ranges of 43 – 154V and two more narrow input
voltage ranges of 14 – 72V and 9 – 50V, with power levels ranging from 35 to
120W and efficiencies up to 90.5%.

The extensive family of isolated DCMs utilize the Vicor
high-frequency zero-voltage switching topology to achieve industry-leading
thermal and electrical performance, with power densities five times greater
than competing DC-DC converters, says Vicor.
In additional to modern rail applications the DCM2322 is well
suited for powering a broad range of robotics, UAV, communications and
defense/aerospace applications.
