Vicor 3623 ChiP DCM Evaluation Board is designed for evaluating low input voltage 3623 ChiP DC-DC converters. Users can configure Vicor 3623 ChiP DCM Evaluation Board for various enabling and fault monitoring schemes. This eval board can also be configured to exercise various modes of trimming, depending on application requirements. This eval board can be used to evaluate DCMs in a stand-alone configuration or as an array of modules.
