Product Highlights
The VI-J00 MiniMod family established a new standard in component-level DC-DC
converters. This “junior” size complement to the higher power VI-200 family offers up
to 100W of isolated and regulated power in a board mounted package. With thousands
of input/output/power combinations, and with a maximum operating temperature
rating of 100°C, the MiniMod provides nearly unlimited flexibiliy for power system
designers to meet demanding time to market requirements.
Utilizing Vicor’s “zero-current-switching” forward converter technology, proven
by an installed base of over 8 million units, the MiniMod family combines state of
the art power density with the efficiency, low noise and reliability required by next
generation power systems.

Output Connections and Considerations
The permissible load current
[e]
must never be exceeded during
normal, abnormal or test conditions. Converters subject to
dynamic loading exceeding 25% of rated current must be
reviewed by Vicor Applications Engineering to ensure that the
converter will operate properly.
Under dynamic load, light load, or no load conditions, the
converter may emit audible noise. Converters that utilize remote
sense may require compensation circuitry to offset the phase
lag caused by the external output leads and load impedance.
Remote Sense leads must be protected for conditions such as
lead reversal, noise pickup, open circuit, or excessive output lead
resistance between the sense point and the converters output
terminals. For applications that may draw more than the rated
current, a fast acting electronic circuit breaker must be utilized
to protect the converter. Under no circumstance should the
rated current be exceeded. Utilizing or testing of current limit or
short circuit current will damage the converter. Ensure that the
total output capacitance connected to the converter does not
exceed the limits on Page 4.
Storage
Vicor products, when not installed in customer units, should
be stored in ESD safe packaging in accordance with
ANSI/ESD S20.20, “Protection of Electrical and Electronic
Parts, Assemblies and Equipment” and should be maintained
in a temperature controlled factory/warehouse environment
not exposed to outside elements controlled between the
temperature ranges of 15ºC and 38ºC. Humidity shall not be
condensing, no minimum humidity when stored in an ESD
compliant package.
