VI Chip P024F048T12AL-CB evaluation board

Product Description

VI Chip (Vicor) P024F048T12AL-CB Evaluation Board

This is a VI Chip (Vicor) P024F048T12AL-CB evaluation board, designed for testing and prototyping with Vicor’s high-density Power-on-Package (PoP) or VI Chip power modules. This board provides a plug-and-play platform to evaluate a specific Vicor power module’s performance, typically converting 24V input to a regulated 48V, 12A output (or similar), making it ideal for engineers developing advanced power delivery networks (PDNs) for servers, telecom, or industrial systems.

Key Specifications (Based on Vicor Naming):

• Model: P024F048T12AL-CB

• Likely Function: DC-DC converter evaluation board (non-isolated or isolated)

• Input Voltage: 24V nominal (range may be 18–36V)

• Output Voltage: 48V nominal (precise output set by module/resistors)

• Output Current: Up to 12A (dependent on thermal design)

• Module Compatibility: Housings for one or more Vicor VI Chip power modules (e.g., BCM, PRM, VTM)

• Features: Test points, trim resistors, input/output connectors, and thermal management

Potential Uses:

• Power Supply Prototyping: Quickly evaluate a Vicor power module’s efficiency, transient response, or thermal performance in a custom design.

• Component Salvage: Harvest high-quality VI Chip modules, PCB, connectors, magnetics, and capacitors for other projects.

• Educational Tool: For teaching advanced power electronics, modular power architecture, or high-density conversion techniques.

• System Integration Testing: Verify compatibility before designing a Vicor module into a larger system.

Important Notes:

• Module Not Guaranteed: The Vicor power module(s) may be missing or damaged. Inspect photos closely.

• Configuration Knowledge Required: Output voltage/current may need adjustment via trim resistors; understanding of Vicor’s design tools (Vicor Whiteboard) is helpful.

• Input/Output Protection: This board may lack full protection circuits; use with a current-limited lab power supply during testing.
