\"\"<\/p>\n

ATS has recently launched a new product line of maxiFLOW heat sinks, specially designed to cool DC-DC converters<\/a>. The new line of heat sinks can be used with Vicor’s DC-DC converter Bricks, including their military-COTS applications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vicor’s Maxi, Mini, and Micro series DC-DC converters<\/a> are relied upon by over eight thousand OEMs for their proven performance, broad coverage of input and output voltages, ease of mechanical mounting and thermal management flexibility. These converter modules use advanced power processing, control, and packaging technologies to provide the performance, flexibility, and ruggedness expected in a Military COTS product. High frequency ZCS\/ZVS switching, advanced power semiconductor packaging, and thermal management provide high-power density with low noise and high efficiency.<\/p>\n

maxiFLOW Heat Sink for Half Brick DC-DC Converters<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

ATS’ patented maxiFLOW<\/a> technology cools millions of BGAs and other PCB components. The same technology is now available for cooling eighth, quarter, half and full brick modules, such as the Micro, Mini, and Maxi series from Vicor. Unlike other converter heat sinks, the patented maxiFLOW heat sink design reduces air pressure drop and provides greater surface area, increasing thermal performance by 30-200%.<\/p>\n

Vicor’s offering of full, half, and quarter-brick modules feature a patented low noise design with the highest reliability and power density available. Fully encapsulated, Maxi, Mini and Micro series DC-DC converters utilize a proprietary spin fill process that assures complete, void free encapsulation making them suitable for the harshest environments. Two grades (H & M) are available with temperatures to -55\u00b0C operating and -65\u00b0C storage. H & M-Grade modules are qualified to the stringent environmental tests of MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-202 and undergo 100% Environment Stress Screening.<\/p>\n

By combining technology from industry leaders Vicor <\/a>and ATS,<\/a> it can be ensured that DC-DC converters will have superior performance in the harshest environments, which is vital for military and aerospace applications.<\/p>\n
