Product Description
The VI Chip Bus Converter Module (BCM) is a high
efficiency (>96%), narrow input range Sine Amplitude
Converter (SAC) operating from a 38 to 55 Vdc primary
bus to deliver an isolated 38.0 V to 55.0 V secondary.
The BCM may be used to power non-isolated POL
converters or as an independent 38.0 – 55.0 V source.
Due to the fast response time and low noise of the
BCM, the need for limited life aluminum electrolytic or
tantalum capacitors at the load is reduced—or
eliminated—resulting in savings of board area, materials
and total system cost.
The BCM achieves a power density of 1218 W/in
3
and
may be surface mounted with a profile as low as 0.16"
(4 mm) over the PCB. Its VI Chip power package is
compatible with onboard or inboard surface mounting.
The VI Chip package provides flexible thermal
management through its low Junction-to-Case and
Junction-to-BGA thermal resistance. Owing to its high
conversion efficiency and safe operating temperature
range, the BCM does not require a discrete heat sink in
typical applications. Low junction to case and junction
to lead thermal impedances assure low junction
temperatures and long life in the harshest environments.
