Vicor BCM family bus converter modules

Vicor VI Chip BCM® bus converter modules are high-density VI chip bus converters with digital communications capability providing isolated unregulated bus voltage to power Point-of-Load (PoL) converters. The BCMs provide a fixed ratio conversion from either a high input voltage, 230V to 410V, or a 48V (38V to 55V) input voltage to a broad range of output bus voltages. VI Chip BCMs have peak efficiencies of up to 97.9% and power densities up to 2750 W/in3.
