Vicor Corp VI Brick: Offline BCM array includes a vertically mounted heat sink

Claiming 95% efficiency, the 650W, vertically mounted VI Brick BCM array provides isolation and conversion from 380V to 12 or 48V. Aiming at front-end applications, the devices have 352 and 384V nominal voltages and 11, 12, 44, and 48V-dc output voltages. The modules yield 290W/in³ power density and fast transient response. The BMC buses offline power to the motherboard and converts it to 12 or 48V, minimizing distribution losses, reducing conversion steps and overall cost. Devices in the VI Brick BCM array family cost $109 each.
