Introduction
The Customer Evaluation Board offers a convenient means to evaluate the
performance of Vicor's high density converter (HDC) Brick module and has been
optimized for user convenience. Please refer to the appropriate HDC datasheet for
performance and operating limits. The datasheets are available for downloading at
vicorpower.com.
Please refer to Figure 1 for locations of the input and output connections as viewed
from the component side. Wires may be soldered directly to the pads instead of ring
lugs if desired to minimize circuit impedances.
NOTE: The Customer Evaluation Board has footprints for both A and B Series HDC modules, but only
one module can be populated on the evaluation board.
