Figure 16 — BCM 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). 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 high power
density.
The BCM384y120x800AC1 SAC can be simplified into the preceeding
model.
At no load:
V_OUT = V_IN ^• K
(1)
K represents the “turns ratio” of the SAC.
Rearranging Eq (1):
K = ^VOUT
(2)
V_IN
In the presence of load, V_OUT is represented by:
V_OUT = V_IN ^• K – I_OUT ^• R_OUT
(3)
and I_OUT is represented by:
I_OUT =
I_IN – I_Q
K
(4)
R_OUT represents the impedance of the SAC, and is a function of the
R_DSON of the input and output MOSFETs and the winding resistance of
the power transformer. I_Q 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 R_OUT = 0 Ω and I_Q = 0 A, Eq. (3) now becomes
Eq. (1) and is essentially load independent, resistor R is now placed in
series with V_IN.

The relationship between V_IN and V_OUT becomes:
V_OUT = (V_IN – I_IN ^• R_IN) ^• K
(5)
Substituting the simplified version of Eq. (4)
(I_Q is assumed = 0 A) into Eq. (5) yields:
V_OUT = V_IN ^• K – I_OUT ^• R_IN ^• K²
