Product Highlights
The MI-IAM is an accessory product to Vicor’s
MI-Series of DC-DC converters that provides
EMI filtering and transient protection. Designed
for use with all 28V and 270V input MI-200
or MI-J00 converters, the MI-IAM can drive
any number of modules with output loads to
200W. See chapter 14 of the Deseign Guide
& Applications Manual for VI-200 and VI-J00
Family DC-DC Converters and configurable
Power Supplies for technical description.
The MI-IAM meets the conducted emissions
specifications of MIL-STD-461C/D/E [1] and
offers complete input transient, surge and
spike protection to the most severe levels of
MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-704 and DO-160.
Overvoltage lockout provides additional
safeguards against potentially damaging
line conditions. Higher power arrays can
be configured using the expansion port
capability of the MI-IAM.
Compatible Products
• MI-200, MI-J00 (Inputs: 2 and 6)
• MI-Mega Modules (Inputs: 2 and 6)
