Product catalog summary
Overview: The DCM™ DC-DC Converter is an isolated, regulated converter designed for high efficiency and power density, offering a nominal 12.0V output with high isolation and safety features.
Features & Benefits:
  • Isolated, regulated DC-DC conversion with up to 60W output and 5.00A continuous current.
  • Peak efficiency of 89.7% and power density of 241W/in3.
  • Wide input voltage range from 9 to 50VDC.
  • 3000VDC isolation and Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) output.
  • Zero-voltage switching (ZVS) for efficient high-frequency operation.
  • Dual operation modes: Array mode (up to 8 units, 480W) and Enhanced VOUT regulation mode (standalone 60W).
  • Comprehensive protection features including overvoltage, overcurrent, undervoltage, short circuit, and thermal shutdown.
Applications: Suitable for rail transportation, defense/aerospace, industrial, and process control applications.
Product Description: Utilizes ZVS topology for high efficiency across a wide input range, supporting modular power distribution and flexible thermal management through Vicor ChiP packaging technology.
Package Information: Housed in a through-hole ChiP™ package with dimensions of 0.978 x 0.898 x 0.284 inches and weighs 14.4g.
Product Ratings:
  • Input Voltage: 9 – 50V
  • Output Voltage: 12.0V (trim range 7.2 – 13.2V)
  • Output Current: 5.00A
Typical Applications: Includes diagrams for typical applications, such as array mode operation and parallel operation with common-mode chokes for noise suppression.
Pin Configuration: Detailed pin descriptions for input, output, and control functions.
Ordering Information: Part numbers available for different temperature grades, with storage and handling guidelines.
Safety and Reliability: Meets various safety standards and has a high mean time between failures (MTBF).
Absolute Maximum Ratings: Specifies stress ratings for input voltage, output voltage, and other parameters.
Electrical Specifications: Detailed specifications for power input, output, and protection features, including efficiency, voltage ripple, and response times.
Trim and Enable Functions: Specifications for trim and enable thresholds, internal resistances, and response times.
Specifications: Focuses on output voltage accuracy, load regulation, and temperature coefficients. The nominal linear temperature coefficient is -1.60 mV/°C, and the output voltage accuracy is within ±3.0% of the calculated ideal VOUT.
Procedures: Involves several states, including initialization, soft start, and regulation modes, influenced by conditions such as input voltage and fault status.
Norms and Recommendations: Emphasizes operating within specified maximum ratings to avoid permanent damage and provides guidelines for using the EN pin to enable/disable the converter and select operation modes.
Performance Characteristics: Illustrates performance metrics such as efficiency and power dissipation across various input voltages and load conditions.
Design Guidelines: Supports a wide input voltage range (9-50V) and can be paralleled for higher power capacity, offering a regulated output voltage with configurable load line and temperature coefficients.
Key Figures and Diagrams: Depicts thermal and electrical operating areas, efficiency versus input voltage, and timing diagrams for different operation modes.
Soft Start: Features a soft-start mechanism that ramps the output voltage linearly, reducing maximum load current until the output voltage reaches a threshold.
Output Voltage Regulation: In array mode, the output voltage is influenced by load and temperature, with a load line impact of 5.263% and a temperature coefficient of -1.60mV/°C. Enhanced VOUT Regulation Mode eliminates these dependencies.
Trim Mode: Allows for output voltage adjustment, with trimming disabled if the trim pin voltage is above a certain threshold.
Current Limit: Maintains operation within the Safe Operating Area (SOA), with a current limit threshold varying between 100% to 150% of the rated output current.
Input Requirements: Recommends a high-quality power supply with a minimum input capacitor of 1000µF for stability, and an input voltage slew rate of less than 1V/µs.
Fault Protections: Includes protections for input undervoltage (UVLO), overvoltage (OVLO), output undervoltage (UVP), overvoltage (OVP), and temperature faults (OTP).
External Output Capacitance: Requires a minimum external output capacitor of 1000 – 10000µF for control loop compensation.
Light-Load Boosting: Operates in a mode that reduces internal power consumption under light-load conditions.
Thermal Design: Can operate at full rated power if the temperature of the top, bottom, and leads is maintained below 95°C, benefiting from dual-sided thermal management.
