DESCRIPTION
The VI Chip® bi-directional current multiplier is a Sine Amplitude
Converter™ (SAC™) operating from a 26 to 55 Vdc primary
source or a 2.2 to 4.6 Vdc secondary source to power a load.
The bi-directional Sine Amplitude Converter isolates and
transforms voltage at a secondary:primary ratio of 1/12. 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 VTM48EF040T050B0R is
1/12, the capacitance value on the primary side can be reduced
by a factor of 144 in an application where the source is located
on the primary side, resulting in savings of board area, materials
and total system cost.
The VTM48EF040T050B0R 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 VTM48EF040T050B0R increases
overall system efficiency and lowers operating costs compared
to conventional approaches.
The VTM48EF040T050B0R 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.
