Vishay SIC931BED-T1-GE3 New microBRICK™

A simple solution building efficient high-density DC/DC converters with a wide input voltage range. One of the biggest challenges in system design is powering the next generation of microprocessors, DSPs, FPGAs, and ASICs. SiC931 is the first member of the microBRICK™ family - An innovative packaging solution offers several advantages, both thermal and electrical. Measuring only 10.6 mm by 6.5 mm with an industry-low 3 mm profile, Vishay’s microBRICK modular solution offers a < 30 % smaller area and > 50 % smaller volume compared to the closest competing module.

Key features

• Operation from 4.5 V to 20 V input voltage; Adjustable output voltage down to 0.6 V
