Vicor DCM4623 Evaluation Boards
Vicor DCM4623 Evaluation Boards are designed to be used with the DCM family of isolated DC-DC converters. These boards are used for the analog control, high input voltage (offline) DCM4623 Converter housed in Package™ (ChiP) products. The DCM evaluation boards can be configured for various enabling and fault monitoring schemes and to exercise various trimming modes, depending on the application requirements. These boards can be used to evaluate DCMs in either a stand-alone configuration or as an array of modules. The DCM4623 eval boards are convenient for assessing Vicor DCM product performance, featuring Kelvin connections for accurate voltage measurements and quick-install sockets for bulk filtering capacitors. The evaluation boards also provide input/output lugs, test points, standard test equipment, and high-performance air-cooled heat sink assemblies.
Features
- Input and output lugs for source and load connections
- Input fuse (appropriately rated)
- Basic input filtering, including sockets to add through-hole input aluminum-electrolytic capacitors for additional source decoupling
- Basic output filtering, including sockets to add through-hole output aluminum-electrolytic capacitors
- Trim control selection:
- Using potentiometer
- Using an external voltage source
- Open to disable trimming and latch the model nominal trim condition
- Toggle switch for enabling and disabling the DCM via the ENABLE pin
- Provisions to replace input and output differential mode inductors with wire loops for oscilloscope/shunt-based current measurements
- Oscilloscope probe jack for accurate, high-frequency output voltage measurements
- Dual paralleling connectors for ENABLE, TRIM, FAULT, and SGND signal connections for daisy chaining control to other DCM evaluation boards in an array
- Kelvin voltage test points for all power pins
- Top and bottom heat sink assembly for the DCM
