Vicor AC to Point-of-Load Development Kit

Vicor has announced the AC to Point-of-Load Development Kit (ACPoL DKit). The development kit enables power system designers to immediately begin operating and evaluating a complete power system solution featuring thin, high-performance, high-density power components.

The kit consists of an AC front-end (ACFE) chassis, which receives power from the AC line and delivers up to 400 W of power via an isolated, regulated, distribution bus voltage; and a point-of-load (PoL) chassis, which receives the distribution bus voltage and generates three independent regulated PoL outputs. One version of the kit features a 24 VDC distribution bus; another version features a 48 VDC bus. The kits include all necessary ancillary components, including a bus hold-up capacitor assembly and an AC line cord.

The kit provides everything necessary to begin testing and evaluating Vicor’s end-to-end modular power systems solutions and the power component approach. The company’s Power Component Design Methodology and online PowerBench tools enable power systems engineers to design and implement complete power systems.
