WARNING:

The high-voltage BCM

®

 customer evaluation board contains exposed metal carrying lethal 

voltages when under power. Care should be taken to protect the user from accidental contact 

when under power. 

Introduction

The BCM evaluation board offers a convenient means to evaluate the performance of the Vicor BCM 

bus converter and has been optimized for user convenience. Refer to the appropriate data sheet for 

performance and operating limits. Data sheets are available at: 

http://www.vicorpower.com/dc-dc/isolated-fixed-ratio/hv-bus-converter-module

It is important to remember the fast response of most BCM modules can readily show the limitations of 

the source, load and associated wiring connected to the evaluation board. Care should be exercised to 

minimize stray source and load impedances in order to fully exercise the module.

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.
