DESCRIPTION
The VIChip™ PRM™ Regulator is a high efficiency converter, operating from a 38 to 55 Vdc input to generate a regulated
20 to 55 Vdc output. The ZVS buck – boost topology enables high switching frequency (~1.03 MHz) operation with high
conversion efficiency. High switching frequency reduces the size of reactive components enabling power density up to
1695 W/in³.
The Full VIChip package is compatible with standard pick-and-place and surface mount assembly processes with a planar
thermal interface area and superior thermal conductivity.
In a Factorized Power Architecture™ system, the PRM and downstream VTM™ current multiplier minimize distribution and
conversion losses in a high power solution, providing an isolated, regulated output voltage.
The PRM48B[x]480[y]500A00 has two selectable modes of regulation depending on the application requirements.
In Adaptive Loop operation, the PRM48B[x]480[y]500A00 utilizes a unique feed-forward scheme that enables precise
regulation of an isolated POL voltage without the need for remote sensing and voltage feedback.
In Remote Sense operation, the internal regulation circuitry is disabled, and an external control loop and current sensor
maintain regulation. This affords flexibility in the design of both voltage and current compensation loops to optimize
performance in the end application.
