The BatMod combines Vicor's industry standard package with the flexibility of a power converter whose output voltage and output current may be independently set. BatMod's allow the user to independently program a constant output current and a maximum float voltage. The float voltage is the point at which the BatMod transitions from constant current to constant voltage. These features make the BatMod an ideal candidate for battery charging and other applications which require a controlled current source. The BatMod is also available in booster versions that enable the designer to create systems capable of multiple kilowatts of output power.
