VI-22V-EW-F2

DC-DC converters are a type of power electronic device designed to increase or decrease the output voltage of a DC power supply in a controlled way, by modulating the output current over a wide range of output voltages. The VI-22V-EW-F2 is a DC-DC converter from Korean manufacturer Vicor Corporation that is capable of providing up to 22 volts of output voltage from an input voltage of anywhere between 16 and bus volts. This versatile converter can be used for a variety of applications, from providing auxiliary voltage to a system from a battery to converting a system from AC to DC at a variety of voltages.

Application Field

The main application of the VI-22V-EW-F2 DC-DC converter is providing auxiliary voltage for a system from a battery or a higher input voltage. It can also be used to convert an AC signal into a DC signal at a variety of voltages, allowing it to be used for a variety of applications. Some of the most common applications include:

• Aircraft Communications: The VI-22V-EW-F2 is ideal for providing auxiliary voltage to an aircraft radio system, converting a higher voltage from an aircraft battery to a more suitable level for the radio.
• Automotive Electronics: The converter can be used to provide a stable DC voltage for automotive systems, such as the infusion of ABS brakes, airbags and other safety features in cars.
• Robotics: In robotics applications, the VI-22V-EW-F2 can be used to provide a stable DC voltage for servos and microcontrollers that are used in robot systems.
• Solar Systems: The converter can also be used for applying solar energy in residential and commercial settings, providing a steady DC voltage to the solar system.

Working Principle

The VI-22V-EW-F2 DC-DC converter works by using a series of electronic components to convert the input voltage into a different output voltage. The converter is capable of doing this by controlling the output current in a linear or switch-mode fashion, depending on the nature of the input signal and the desired output.

Linear converters work by using a transistor to regulate the output voltage in a constant fashion, which ensures that the output voltage is kept at a constant level throughout the entire process. Switch-mode converters, on the other hand, use switching transistors and inductors to rapidly switch the output voltage between two different levels. This allows the output voltage to be changed over a wide range of output voltages, without having to adjust the input voltage.

The VI-22V-EW-F2 also utilizes a voltage regulator to ensure that the output voltage is kept stable, regardless of the input voltage. This makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from providing auxiliary voltage to a system from a battery to converting a system from AC to DC at a variety of voltages.

Conclusion

The VI-22V-EW-F2 DC-DC converter from Vicor Corporation is a versatile and reliable converter capable of providing up to 22 volts of voltage from an input voltage of between 16 and bus volts. It is ideal for a wide range of applications, from providing auxiliary voltage for an aircraft radio to providing stable DC voltage for automotive systems. The converter works by using a series of components to convert the input voltage into a different output voltage, in either a linear or switch-mode fashion, to provide a stable output voltage.
