Vicor NBM2317 DC-to-DC Converter | DigiKey Daily

Vicor's NBM2317 is a non-isolated, fixed ratio, DC-to-DC converter. Employing a unique switching topology and packaging, this bidirectional converter bridges 12 volts to 48 volts and can deliver a maximum continuous output power of 800 watts at 97.9 percent peak efficiency. This converter switches at 1.7 megahertz and consumes only a fraction of the space occupied by conventional, slow switching solutions. It delivers voltage essentially free of noise without any need for external filters or bulk capacitors. It’s packaged in a surface-mount converter-housed-in-package, or SM-ChiP, which provides low thermal impedance to both the top and bottom of the package providing easy thermal management. Typical applications include DC power distribution systems, hybrid and autonomous vehicles, bidirectional DC energy storage, and more.
