power system footprint by >50%
Description
• “Half Chip” VI Chip® package enables surface mount,
low impedance interconnect to system board
The VI Chip® Bus Converter is a high efficiency (>95%) Sine
Amplitude ConverterTM (SACTM) operating from a 38 to 55VDC
primary bus to deliver an isolated ratiometric output voltage from
9.5 to 13.75VDC. The SAC offers a low AC impedance beyond
the bandwidth of most downstream regulators, meaning that
input capacitance normally located at the input of a 12V regulator
can be located at the input to the SAC. Since the K factor of
the BCM48Bx120y120B00 is 1/4, that capacitance value can be
reduced by a factor of 16x, resulting in savings of board area,
materials and total system cost.
• Contains built-in protection features against:
nꢀUndervoltage
nꢀOvervoltage
nꢀOvercurrent
nꢀShort Circuit
nꢀOvertemperature
• Provides enable/disable control,
internal temperature monitoring
The BCM48BH120y120B00 is provided in a VI Chip package
compatible with standard pick-and-place and surface mount
assembly processes. The VI Chip package provides flexible thermal
management through its low junction-to-case and junction-to-
board thermal resistance. With high conversion efficiency the
BCM48Bx120y120B00 increases overall system efficiency and
lowers operating costs compared to conventional approaches.
