TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
The V•I ChipTM current multiplier is a high efficiency (>94%)
Sine Amplitude ConverterTM (SACTM) operating from a
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
VTM48EF030T070A00 is 1/16, the capacitance value can be
reduced by a factor of 256, resulting in savings of board area,
materials and total system cost.
The VTM48EF030T070A00 is provided in a V•I Chip package
compatible with standard pick-and-place and surface mount
assembly processes. The co-molded V•I Chip package provides
enhanced thermal management due to a large thermal
interface area and superior thermal conductivity. The high
conversion efficiency of the VTM48EF030T070A00 increases
overall system efficiency and lowers operating costs compared
to conventional approaches.
The VTM48EF030T070A00 enables the utilization of Factorized
Power ArchitectureTM which provides efficiency and size
benefits by lowering conversion and distribution losses and
promoting high density point of load conversion.
