PRODUCT OF THE WEEK: Vicor’s MIL-COTS DCM DC-DC converter module
Sponsored StorySeptember 22, 2025
This week’s product, Vicor’s MIL-COTS DCM DC-DC converter module, is an isolated, regulated DC-DC converter using high-frequency zero-voltage switching (ZVS) topology, operating from an unregulated, wide-range input to generate an isolated output. The commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) device is targeted at mission-critical military avionics, autonomous systems, shipboard, and other defense applications.
Modular DCM converters and downstream DC-DC products support efficient power distribution, providing superior power system performance and connectivity from a range of unregulated power sources to the point-of-load.
Packaging Advantage
The COTS device leverages the thermal and density benefits of Vicor’s ChiP packaging technology, the DCM ChiP module offers flexible thermal management options with very low top- and bottom‑side thermal impedances while the DCM VIA module additionally provides integrated EMI filtering, tight output voltage regulation, and a secondary-referenced control interface while retaining the fundamental design benefits of the conventional brick architecture.
