High Efficiency, Sine Amplitude Converter™
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The VI Chip® current multiplier is a high efficiency (>96%)
Sine Amplitude Converter™ (SAC) operating from a
• 48 Vdc to 32 Vdc 9.4 A current multiplier
- Operating from standard 48 V or 24 V PRM® Regulators
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
VTM48EF320T009A00 is 2/3, the capacitance value can be
reduced by a factor of 2.25, resulting in savings of board area,
materials and total system cost.
• High efficiency (>96%) reduces system power
consumption
• High density (32 A/in3)
• “Full Chip” VI Chip® package enables surface mount,
low impedance interconnect to system board
• Contains built-in protection features against:
- Overvoltage Lockout
- Overcurrent
- Short Circuit
- Overtemperature
The VTM48EF320T009A00 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 VTM48EF320T009A00 increases
overall system efficiency and lowers operating costs compared
to conventional approaches.
• Provides enable/disable control,
internal temperature monitoring
• ZVS/ZCS resonant Sine Amplitude Converter topology
The VTM48EF320T009A00 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
