Product Description
The NBM6123x46C15A6yzz is a high efficiency Non-Isolated Bus
Converter, operating from a 36 – 46V
DC
primary bus to deliver a
non-isolated, ratiometric secondary voltage from 12.0 – 15.3V
DC
.
The NBM6123x46C15A6yzz offers low noise, fast transient
response, and industry leading efficiency and power density. In
addition, it provides an AC impedance beyond the bandwidth of
most downstream regulators, allowing input capacitance normally
located at the input of a PoL regulator to be located at the primary
side of the NBM. With a primary to secondary K factor of 1/3, that
capacitance value can be reduced by a factor of 9x, resulting in
savings of board area, material and total system cost.
Leveraging the thermal and density benefits of Vicor’s ChiP
packaging technology, the NBM offers flexible thermal
management options with very low top and bottom side thermal
impedances. Thermally-adept ChiP-based power components
enable customers to achieve low cost power system solutions
with previously unattainable system size, weight and efficiency
attributes quickly and predictably.
The NBM non-isolated topology allows start up and steady
state operation in forward and reverse directions and provides
bidirectional protections. However if the power train is disabled
by any protection and V
SEC
is present, then a voltage equal to V
SEC
minus two diode drops will appear on the primary side.
