The NBM 2317 nonisolated bus converter from Vicor allows up to 750 W of continuous power flow (1 kW peak for up to 2 ms) between 48 V and 12 V subsystems in data center and automotive applications.Furthermore, it delivers bidirectional power conversion with over 98% peak efficiency.

By switching at 2 MHz, the NBM 2317 responds in as little as 1 µs to transient loads. The hot-swappable module incorporates inrush current limiting and is housed in a 23×17×7-mm surface-mount package that takes up less than 3.3 cm³ of board space.
