Vicor is setting a high bar for power density with the IB048E096T40N1-00. This 1/8 brick IBC converts 48V to 9.6V at a massive 40A, providing 300W of power in a tiny footprint. With a power density over 600W/in³ and peak efficiency hitting 98%, it is built specifically for the high-performance demands of modern data centers and 5G base stations.
The hardware is a masterclass in space optimization. At just 6.8mm thick, it features an integrated planar transformer and a double-sided PCB layout for optimal cooling. It supports a wide 38-55V input and offers 2250VDC isolation, though users will need forced air cooling to manage its intense power concentration.
Under the hood, Vicor pairs its custom 1012-199A controller with top-tier silicon from Infineon. By using BSZ123N08NS3G FETs on the primary side and ultra-low resistance BSZ0902NS FETs for secondary rectification, the module slashes conduction losses. Combined with signal components from Diodes Inc., the result is a rugged, ultra-efficient power engine designed for 24/7 reliability.
