V-I Chip Introduces 120-Watt half-chip bus converter

Sept. 16, 2008
ANDOVER, Mass., 16 Sept. 2008. V-I Chip Inc. a subsidiary of Vicor Corp. in Andover, Mass., is introducing a 120-Watt, 1/32nd brick power bus converter with 94.5 percent efficiency for non-isolated POL converters or to provide isolated voltage for ATE, server, telecom, and industrial-control applications.

ANDOVER, Mass., 16 Sept. 2008.V-I Chip Inc. a subsidiary of Vicor Corp. in Andover, Mass., is introducing a 120-Watt, 1/32nd brick BCM bus converter with 94.5 percent power efficiency to power non-isolated POL converters or as an isolated voltage source for ATE, server, telecom, and industrial-control applications.

The VIB0101THJ uses a sine amplitude converter (SAC) for a power density of 840 Watts per cubic inch. The half inch square half-chip package enables a low impedance interconnect to the system board and reduces the power system volume.

The V-I Chip package provides flexible thermal management through its low junction-to-board and junction-to-case thermal resistance. The BCM's low impedance SAC enables a 16x capacitance reduction.

The BCM bus converter package is compatible with standard pick-and-place and surface-mount assembly processes. For more information contact V-I Chip online at www.vicorpower.com.
