High Efficiency, Bi-directional, Sine Amplitude Converter™
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The VI Chip® bi-directional current multiplier is a Sine Amplitude
• 48 Vdc to 12 Vdc 25 A bi-directional current multiplier
Converter™ (SAC™) operating from a 26 to 55 Vdc primary
source or a 6.5 to 13.8 Vdc secondary source to power a load.
The bi-directional Sine Amplitude Converter isolates and
transforms voltage at a secondary:primary ratio of 1/4. The SAC
offers a low AC impedance beyond the bandwidth of most
downstream regulators; therefore for a step-down conversion;
capacitance normally at the load can be located at the source to
the Sine Amplitude Converter to enable a reduction in size of
capacitors. Since the K factor of the VTM48EF120T025A0R is
1/4, the capacitance value on the primary side can be reduced
by a factor of 16 in an application where the source is located
on the primary side, resulting in savings of board area, materials
and total system cost.
• Can power a load connected to either the primary or
secondary side
• High efficiency (>96%) reduces system power
consumption
• High density (85 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 VTM48EF120T025A0R 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 VTM48EF120T025A0R 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
• Less than 50ºC temperature rise at full load
in typical applications
The VTM48EF120T025A0R 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.
