VICOR PRM48AT480T400A00

The VI Chip® PRM™ Regulator is high efficiency converter, operating from a 36.0 to 75.0 Vdc input to generate a regulated 20.0 to 55.0 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 1383 W/in³. The Full VI Chip® package is compatible with standard pickand-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 PRM48Ay480x400A00 has two selectable modes of regulation depending on the application requirements. In Adaptive Loop Operation, the PRM48Ay480x400A00 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.
