Product Overview
The thermally enhanced VI BRICK VTM current multiplier excels at speed, density and
efficiency to meet the demands of advanced power applications. Combined with the
VI BRICK PRM regulator they create a DC-DC converter with flexibility to provide isolation
and regulation where needed. The PRM can be located with the VTM at the point of load
or remotely in the back plane or on a daughter card.
