FEATURES
•
48 Vdc – 12 Vdc 120 W Bus Converter
•
High efficiency (>95%) reduces system power
consumption
•
High power density (801 W/in
3
) reduces power system
footprint by >50%
•
“Half Chip” V
•
I Chip package enables surface mount,
low impedance interconnect to system board
•
Contains built-in protection features: undervoltage,
overvoltage lockout, over current protection, short
circuit protection, overtemperature protection.
DESCRIPTION
The V
•
I Chip
TM
Bus Converter is a high efficiency (>95%) Sine
Amplitude Converter
TM
(SAC
TM
) operating from a 38 to 55 Vdc
primary bus to deliver an isolated 12 V nominal, unregulated
secondary. The SAC offers a low AC impedance beyond the
bandwidth of most downstream regulators, meaning that
input capacitance normally located at the input of a 12 V
regulator can be located at the input to the SAC. Since the
K factor of the BCM48BH120T120A00 is 1/4, that capacitance
value can be reduced by a factor of 16x, resulting in savings of
board area, materials and total system cost.
The BCM48BH120T120A00 is provided in a V
•
I Chip package
compatible with standard pick-and-place and surface mount
assembly processes. The V
•
I Chip package provides flexible
thermal management through its low junction-to-case and
junction-to-board thermal resistance. With high conversion
efficiency the BCM48BH120T120A00 increases overall system
efficiency and lowers operating costs compared to
conventional approaches.
•
Provides enable/disable control, internal temperature
monitoring
•
ZVS/ZCS Resonant Sine Amplitude Converter topology
•
Less than 50°C temperature rise at full load in typical
applications

PC (V
•
I Chip BCM Primary Control)
The PC pin can enable and disable the BCM. When held below
V
PC
-
DIS
the BCM shall be disabled. When allowed to float with
an impedance to –IN of greater than 60 kΩ the module will
start. When connected to another BCM PC pin (either directly,
or isolated through a diode), the BCMs will start simultane-
ously when enabled. The PC pin is capable of being either
driven high by an external logic signal or internal pull up to 5 V
(operating).
TM (V
•
I Chip BCM Temperature Monitor)
The TM pin monitors the internal temperature of the BCM
within an accuracy of +5/-5 °C. It has a room temperature
setpoint of ~3.0 V and an approximate gain of 10 mV/°C. It
can source up to 100 uA and may also be used as a “Power
Good” flag to verify that the BCM is operating.
