Product Highlights
The FARM (Filter/Autoranging Rectifier Module)
is an AC front-end module which provides
EMI filtering, autoranging line rectification
and inrush current limiting. The FARM is
available in either 500/750W or 750/1000W
models in a mini sized package measuring only
2.28” x 2.2” x 0.5”.
The FARM interfaces directly with worldwide
AC mains and may be used with Vicor
300V input DC-DC converters to realize
an autoranging, high density, low profile
switching power supply. The FARM includes
a microcontroller that continuously monitors
the AC line to control bridge / doubler
operation. The user need only provide external
capacitance to satisfy system
hold-up requirements.

Product
Vicor 2nd Generation packaging technology
offers flexible mounting options for various
manufacturing processes. The FARM may be
installed as a conventional leaded device
for onboard applications, inboard for low
profile, height restricted applications, socketed
or surface mounted with optional ModuMate
interconnect products.
