Vicor Powering Modern Rail Systems | Datasheet Preview

Vicor has been powering railways for decades and has been consistently adapting to changing power demands. Modern rail infrastructure presents challenges for designers of both freight and commuter solutions. Both commuter and freight systems demand reliable and high-performance power systems for the necessary safety and security measures onboard and at the station. Vicor's ChiP® DCM family of isolated, regulated DC/DC converter modules addresses the requirements of modern rail applications with two different package sizes and input voltages that match up well with all global rail standards. The family has offerings that are optimized for power levels from 60 to 320 watts, at high power densities. Utilizing a high-frequency zero-voltage switching topology, the DCM converter delivers efficiencies of up to 93% across its entire input voltage range.
