Product Description
The V•I Chip regulator is a very efficient non-isolated
regulator capable of both boosting and bucking a wide
range input voltage. It is specifically designed to provide
a controlled Factorized Bus distribution voltage for
powering downstream VTM
TM
Transformer — fast,
efficient, isolated, low noise Point-of-Load (POL)
converters. In combination, PRMs and VTMs
TM
form a
complete DC-DC converter subsystem offering all of the
unique benefits of Vicor’s Factorized Power Architecture
TM
(FPA)
TM
: high density and efficiency; low noise
operation; architectural flexibility; extremely fast
transient response; and elimination of bulk capacitance
at the Point-of-Load (POL).
In FPA systems, the POL voltage is the product of the
Factorized Bus voltage delivered by the PRM and the
"K-factor" (the fixed voltage transformation ratio) of a
downstream VTM. The PRM controls the Factorized Bus
voltage to provide regulation at the POL. Because VTMs
perform true voltage division and current multiplication,
the Factorized Bus voltage may be set to a value that is
substantially higher than the bus voltages typically
found in "intermediate bus" systems, reducing
distribution losses and enabling use of narrower
distribution bus traces. A PRM-VTM chip set can provide
up to 100 A or 160 W at a FPA system density of
169 A/in
3
or 271 W/in
3
— and because the PRM can be
located, or "factorized," remotely from the POL, these
power densities can be effectively doubled.
The PRM described in this data sheet features a unique
"Adaptive Loop" compensation feedback: a single wire
alternative to traditional remote sensing and feedback
loops that enables precise control of an isolated POL
voltage without the need for either a direct connection
to the load or for noise sensitive, bandwidth limiting,
isolation devices in the feedback path.

Overview of Adaptive Loop Compensation
Adaptive Loop compensation, illustrated in Figure 1, contributes to the
bandwidth and speed advantage of Factorized Power. The PRM
monitors its output current and automatically adjusts its output voltage
to compensate for the voltage drop in the output resistance of the
VTM. R
OS
sets the desired value of the VTM output voltage, Vout; R
CD
is set to a value that compensates for the output resistance of the
VTM (which, ideally, is located at the point of load). For selection of
R
OS
and R
CD
, refer to Table 1 below or Page 9.
The V•I Chip’s bi-directional VC port :
1. Provides a wake up signal from the PRM to the VTM that
synchronizes the rise of the VTM output voltage to that of the PRM.
2. Provides feedback from the VTM to the PRM to enable the PRM to
compensate for the voltage drop in VTM output resistance, R
O
