Vicor Enables 48 V Direct To PoL Step-Down Regulation with Peak Efficiency exceeding 96%
Andover, MA – May 19, 2015 – Vicor Corporation today announced the expansion of its Picor Cool-Power™ ZVS Point-of-Load Regulator portfolio with the introduction of high efficiency PI3542, PI3543, PI3545, and PI3546 buck regulators. The entire Cool-Power portfolio is characterized by products with benchmark efficiency and density performance that are simple to use, accelerating time to market.
- Enables 48 V direct to PoL high performance step-down regulation
- ZVS Topology provides unparalleled efficiency over 96%
- High density 10 x 10 x 2.5 mm LGA SiP (System in Package) module for power delivery over 100 W
- Advanced features including constant current control for lighting and battery applications
PI354x Cool-Power ZVS Buck Regulators utilize the integration of a high performance Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) topology that enables 48 V direct to PoL without sacrificing performance. With step-down regulation from a higher voltage source, engineers can deploy more efficient power distribution architectures, reduce I2R losses, and eliminate costly and inefficient intermediate conversion stages.
- PI354X series operates from 36 Vin to 60 Vin
- Regulates an output voltage ranging from 2.2 V to 14 V, with output current delivery up to 10 A
- Power delivery can be further increased by using single wire current sharing without any additional components
The PI354x Cool-Power ZVS Buck Regulators are designed for a wide range of applications leveraging higher voltage distribution, including: telecom, network infrastructure, datacenters, industrial, battery, and lighting applications.
The PI354x series expands and enhances the Vicor Power Component Methodology. When used in conjunction with Vicor’s front-end products and Factorized Power products, the PI354x series can enable a complete power chain from AC or HVDC (200V+) source to point of load.
