VE-231-CV

DC DC Converters

DC-DC converters are electric circuits which convert one form or level of DC electrical energy into another. DC-DC converter can accept a range of input voltages and produce an output voltage that is proportional to or lower or higher than the applied input voltage. They are used in various applications ranging from portable electronic goods to power management systems. The most common use of DC-DC converters is in charging batteries and providing power for computer systems and communications equipment, but they are used in many other applications.

VE-231-CV is a wide input range, high efficiency miniature DC-DC converter manufactured by Vicor Corporation. It is designed for applications such as laptop computers, tablet computers, automotive electronics, and military electronics where small size, low cost, and high efficiency are essential.
