The company’s VXR Series of isolated DC-DC converters is the newest and most innovative solution in VPT’s extensive line of high reliability COTS products.

Building on an extensive design heritage, the VXR Series benefits from a wide input voltage range, high efficiency, and next-generation packaging. The VXR family is optimised for a broad range of applications, from military ground vehicles to commercial and military aircraft that endure the most extreme environmental conditions, including severe vibration, shock and temperature cycling.

The VXR Series employs a fixed frequency, low noise, wide input voltage range topology which features extended high and low input transient capability to simplify overall power system design and compliance.

Precision controlled synchronous rectification achieves optimal efficiency over a wide input range, minimising external heatsink requirements and reducing power dissipation. A proprietary control loop design also provides fast transient response without optoisolators.

VPT’s patented epoxy encapsulated packaging is extremely resistant to solvent, chemical and salt environments and is fully compatible with high volume manufacturing processes, including cleaning solvents, high pressure sprays, wave solder, and aqueous wash.

A unique and integral metalised shield boosts system EMI compatibility. Dual-sided cooling coupled with reduced power dissipation simplifies your system’s thermal design.

VPT’s high-reliability COTS DC-DC converters have been developed to meet a wide range of demanding military requirements, including unmanned systems.
