TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
The VI Chip® Bus Converter is a high efficiency (>95%) Sine
Amplitude ConverterTM (SACTM) operating from a 38 to 55 Vdc
primary bus to deliver an isolated ratiometric output from 9.5 to
13.75. The SAC offers a low AC impedance beyond the band-
width of most downstream regulators, meaning that
input capacitance normally located at the input of a 12 V
regulator can be located at the input to the SAC. Since the
K factor of the BCM48BH120T120B00 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.
The BCM48BH120T120B00 is provided in a VI Chip package
compatible with standard pick-and-place and surface mount
assembly processes. The VI Chip package provides flexible ther-
mal management through its low junction-to-case and junc-
tion-to-board thermal resistance. With high conversion
efficiency the BCM48BH120T120B00 increases overall system
efficiency and lowers operating costs compared to
conventional approaches.
