Introduction

This Evaluation Board offers a convenient means to evaluate the performance of Vicor’s
VI Brick® PFM Isolated AC-DC Converter modules with Power Factor Correction, and
has been optimized for user convenience. Refer to Table 1 for operating conditions
and limits.
This reference design contains an input line filter. It is important to remember the
response of the AC line filter is dependent upon the wiring connected to the evaluation
board. Care should be exercised to minimize stray source impedances in order to fully
exercise the features of the converter.
