Selecting the right Vicor module involves several key steps: First, define your electrical requirements - input voltage range, output voltage, output current or power, and isolation needs. Second, consider efficiency requirements - Vicor offers modules from 91% to 98% efficiency. Third, evaluate thermal constraints - calculate power dissipation and ensure adequate cooling. Fourth, determine form factor requirements - ChiP packages offer highest density, VI Chip for FPA applications. Fifth, consider control and monitoring needs - PMBus-enabled modules for digital management. Our FAE team can guide you through the selection process and provide recommendations based on your specific requirements.

BeiLuo Electronics provides Vicor samples for evaluation and prototyping: Sample request process: Contact our sales or FAE team with your requirements; Provide project information and expected production volumes; Samples typically ship within 1-3 business days for stock items; Custom or specialized modules may require longer lead times. Evaluation support: We provide evaluation boards for many Vicor modules; Technical documentation and application notes included; FAE support available for evaluation assistance. For production planning, we recommend requesting samples early in the design cycle to allow adequate evaluation time.

Contact our sales team to request samples and discuss your evaluation requirements.

Thermal design for Vicor modules involves these steps: Calculate power dissipation using P_loss = P_out × (1/η - 1), where η is efficiency at your operating point. Determine maximum allowable case temperature from datasheet. Calculate required thermal resistance: Rth = (T_case_max - T_ambient) / P_loss. Select heatsink with appropriate thermal resistance, adding 20-30% margin for thermal interface. Choose thermal interface material based on power level and assembly method. Vicor provides thermal models and calculators to assist with these calculations. Contact our FAE team for thermal design review and recommendations.
