Product Highlights
The BatMod combines Vicor’s industry standard
package with the flexibility of a power converter
whose output voltage and output current may be
independently set. BatMod’s allow the user to
independently program a constant output current
and a maximum float voltage. The float voltage is
the point at which the BatMod transitions from
constant current to constant voltage. These
features make the BatMod an ideal candidate for
battery charging and other applications which
require a controlled current source.
The BatMod is also available in booster
versions that enable the designer to create systems
capable of multiple kilowatts of
output power.
With its wide range of input options, the BatMod
is compatible with all major
battery types. This new current output
module finds application in systems where easily
programmable current is of primary importance.
Consult factory for availability of input/output volt-
age ranges not shown.
