Product Highlights
The AIM (Alternating Input Module) is an
AC front-end module which interfaces
directly with worldwide AC mains. The AIM
provides line rectification, EMI/RFI filtering,
transient protection and inrush limiting in a
half brick package measuring
2.28” x 2.4” x 0.5”.
The AIM is used in conjunction with Vicor
VI-200 or VI-J00 DC-DC converters to
realize a universal AC input, high-density,
low-profile switching power supply with
outputs from 1 – 95V
DC
and a total
power rating up to 200W. An external
capacitor is used to satisfy system hold-
up requirements. Internal EMI filtering
meets EN55022 and FCC Part 15, Class A
emissions limits.
