Product Description
The NBM3814x46C15A6yzz in a VIA package is a high-efficiency
Bus Converter, operating from a 36 to 46V
DC
high-voltage bus to
deliver a non-isolated 12 to 15.3V
DC
unregulated, low voltage.
This unique, ultra-low-profile module incorporates
DC-DC conversion and integrated filtering in a chassis- or
PCB-mount form factor.
The NBM offers low noise, fast transient response and
industry-leading efficiency and power density.
Leveraging the thermal and density benefits of Vicor VIA packaging
technology, the NBM module offers flexible thermal management
options with very low top and bottom side thermal impedances.
When combined with downstream Vicor DC-DC conversion
components and regulators, the NBM allows the Power Design
Engineer to employ a simple, low-profile design, which will
differentiate the end system without compromising on cost or
performance metrics.
The NBM non-isolated topology allows start up and steady
state operation in forward and reverse directions. It provides
bidirectional protections. However if the powertrain is disabled
by any protection and V
LO
is present, then a voltage equal to V
LO
minus two diode drops will appear on the high-voltage side.
