Product Highlights

The BatMod combines Vicor’s industry standard

package with the flexibility of a power converter

whose output voltage and output current may be

independently set. BatMod’s allow the user to

independently program a constant output current

and a maximum float voltage. The float voltage is

the point at which the BatMod transitions from

constant current to constant voltage. These

features make the BatMod an ideal candidate for

battery charging and other applications which

require a controlled current source.

The BatMod is also available in booster

versions that enable the designer to create systems

capable of multiple kilowatts of

output power.

With its wide range of input options, the BatMod

is compatible with all major

battery types. This new current output

module finds application in systems where easily

programmable current is of primary importance.

Consult factory for availability of input/output volt-

age ranges not shown.
