FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The VI Chip® current multiplier is a high efficiency (>94%) Sine
Amplitude Converter™ (SAC™) operating from a 26 to 55 Vdc
primary bus to deliver an isolated output. The Sine Amplitude
Converter offers a low AC impedance beyond the bandwidth
of most downstream regulators; therefore capacitance normally
at the load can be located at the input to the Sine Amplitude
Converter. Since the K factor of the VTM48EF012T130A01 is
1/40, the capacitance value can be reduced by a factor of 1600,
resulting in savings of board area, materials and total system cost.
The VTM48EF012T130A01 is provided in a VI Chip® package
compatible with standard pick-and-place and surface mount
assembly processes. The co-molded VI Chip® package provides
enhanced thermal management due to a large thermal
interface area and superior thermal conductivity. The high
conversion efficiency of the VTM48EF012T130A01 increases
overall system efficiency and lowers operating costs compared
to conventional approaches.
• Optimized for VR12.0
• 40 Vdc to 1 Vdc 130 A current multiplier
- Operating from standard 48 V or 24 V PRM™regulators
• High efficiency (>94%) reduces system power
consumption
• High density (443 A/in3)
• “Full Chip” VI Chip® package enables surface mount,
low impedance interconnect to system board
• Contains built-in protection features against:
- Overvoltage
- Overtemperature
• Provides enable / disable control,
internal temperature monitoring
• ZVS / ZCS resonant Sine Amplitude Converter topology
The VTM48EF012T130A01 enables the utilization of Factorized
Power Architecture™ which provides efficiency and size
benefits by lowering conversion and distribution losses and
promoting high density point of load conversion.
• Less than 50ºC temperature rise at full load
in typical applications
