Figure 13 — VI Chip® module AC model
The Sine Amplitude Converter (SAC™) uses a high frequency
resonant tank to move energy from input to output. (The
resonant tank is formed by Cr and leakage inductance Lr in the
power transformer windings as shown in the BCM module
Block Diagram. See Section 8). The resonant LC tank, operated
at high frequency, is amplitude modulated as a function of
input voltage and output current. A small amount of
capacitance embedded in the input and output stages of the
module is sufficient for full functionality and is key to achieving
power density.
The B048x240y30A SAC can be simplified into the preceeding
model.
ROUT represents the impedance of the SAC, and is a function of
the RDSON of the input and output MOSFETs and the winding
resistance of the power transformer. IQ represents the
quiescent current of the SAC control, gate drive circuitry, and
core losses.
The use of DC voltage transformation provides additional
interesting attributes. Assuming that ROUT = 0 Ω and IQ = 0 A,
Eq. (3) now becomes Eq. (1) and is essentially load
independent, resistor R is now placed in series with VIN.
At no load:
VOUT = VIN • K
K represents the “turns ratio” of the SAC.
Rearranging Eq (1):
K = VOUT
VIN
In the presence of load, VOUT is represented by:
VOUT = VIN • K – IOUT • ROUT
and IOUT is represented by:

The relationship between VIN and VOUT becomes:
VOUT = (VIN – IIN • R) • K

Substituting the simplified version of Eq. (4)
(IQ is assumed = 0 A) into Eq. (5) yields:
VOUT = VIN • K – IOUT • R • K2
