VIPAC Installation Guide

VIPAC TM Family
of Power Systems
50 to 900 Watt
Description & Installation Guide
Product Description
Vicor’s VIPAC is a new type of integrated power system leveraging the latest advances in
DC-DC converter technology and modular front-ends. VIPAC combines application specific
power processing units (PPU), a choice of chassis styles and remotely located hold-up
capacitors to provide fast, flexible and highly reliable power solutions for a wide range of
demanding applications.
The PPU is the core element of the system and may be specified for 115/230 Vac operation.
The PPU incorporates Vicor’s autoranging FARM modular front-end to provide transient
protection, EMI filtering and inrush current limiting. The web-based PowerBench™ enables
designers to configure the PPU with up to three independently regulated outputs having
power levels from 50 to 500 W and with as much as 900 W total output power.

Product Description cont.
Vicor’s Maxi, Mini, Micro Family DC-DC converters, in industry standard quarter, half and full
brick packages, are used to deliver output voltages from 2 to 48 Vdc. Additionally, the wide
trim range of the modules can provide operating voltages as low as 500 mV.
The PPU is comprised of:
• AC input modular front-end
• Vicor’s Maxi, Mini, Micro Family, high density DC-DC converters
• Coldplate or finned chassis
• User interface
• Choice of output termination styles
The VIPAC is offered in several chassis configurations facilitating its use in a variety of
applications using either conduction, convection or forced convection cooling. The low
profile, conduction cooled version may be mounted to an existing cabinet wall, coldplate or
heat sink. The 0.5" or 1" finned versions, available in longitudinal or transverse
configurations, are ideal for use in free or forced convection environments.
VIPACs use remotely located capacitors to facilitate packaging and placement options not
previously available. The low profile PPU can be placed closer to the load or attached to
cabinet walls while the capacitors may be integrated into the host system away from heat
sources for improved reliability. System hold-up / ride-thru requirements can also be tailored
for specific applications via different value capacitors. The hold-up capacitors may be
obtained from Vicor as a prepackaged hold-up box (HUB). VIPAC is a new class of flexible,
high density power solutions.

Overview
The front-end section utilizes Vicor’s FARM input module to provide EMI filtering, transient
protection, inrush current limiting and rectification. The front-end also contains input
connectors, fusing and control circuitry to which the user can interface with discrete circuitry.
Up to three individually fused Vicor Maxi, Mini, Micro DC-DC converter modules are combined
with the front-end in an integrated mechanical assembly providing a high efficiency power
supply delivering up to 900 W of output power.

Application Tips
Remote Sense
A remote sense feature is provided on outputs configured with Mini or Maxi sized DC-DC
converters. The output sense connections must be terminated either locally or remotely and
may not be left open. VIPACs provided with the optional LugMate connectors are
configured for local sensing via removable jumpers installed at the factory. The jumpers will
need to be removed if access to the secondary control function is made via mating
connector 16385 and connections will need to be established for local or remote sensing.
Hold-up Capacitors
Hold-up capacitors can be located remotely with up to 3' of cable. Vicor applications
engineering should be consulted for projects requiring greater separation.
Wire Routing
Avoid routing wires over the VIPAC Power System.
Do not bundle Input and Output leads together.

Parallel Outputs
The VIPAC can be configured with parallel modules for increased power or redundancy.
When output terminations other than the LugMate are specified the user must
properly connect the output and sense terminals. At no time operate a paralleled
output with a load applied to only one module! (See Output Connection Options)
