Product Description
The VI Chip® Bus Converter (BCM®) is a high efficiency
Sine Amplitude Converter™ (SAC™), operating from a 260 to
410 VDC primary bus to deliver an isolated, ratiometric output
from 32.5 to 51.3 VDC.
(63.34 mm x 22.80 mm x 7.26 mm)
Typical Applications
The BCM380x475y800A3z 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 BCM module. With a primary to
secondary K factor of 1/8, that capacitance value can be
reduced by a factor of 64x, resulting in savings of board area,
material and total system cost.
• 380 DC Power Distribution
• High End Computing Systems
• Automated Test Equipment
• Industrial Systems
• High Density Power Supplies
• Communications Systems
• Transportation
Leveraging the thermal and density benefits of Vicor’s ChiP
packaging technology, the BCM module 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.
This product can operate in reverse direction, at full rated
power, after being previously started in forward direction.

Figure 16 — BCM module AC model
The Sine Amplitude Converter (SAC™) uses a high frequency resonant
tank to move energy from Primary to secondary and vice versa. (The
resonant tank is formed by Cr and leakage inductance Lr in the power
transformer windings as shown in the BCM module Block Diagram).
The resonant LC tank, operated at high frequency, is amplitude
modulated as a function of input voltage and output current. A small
amount of capacitance embedded in the primary and secondary stages
of the module is sufficient for full functionality and is key to achieving
high power density.
The BCM380x475y800A3z SAC can be simplified into the preceeding
model.
The use of DC voltage transformation provides additional interesting
attributes. Assuming that RSEC = 0 Ω and IPRI_Q = 0 A, Eq. (3) now
becomes Eq. (1) and is essentially load independent, resistor R is now
placed in series with VIN.

This is similar in form to Eq. (3), where RSEC is used to represent the
characteristic impedance of the SAC™. However, in this case a real R on
the primary side of the SAC is effectively scaled by K2 with respect
to the secondary.
Assuming that R = 1 Ω, the effective R as seen from the secondary side is 16
mΩ, with K = 1/8 .
A similar exercise should be performed with the additon of a capacitor
or shunt impedance at the primary input to the SAC. A switch in series
with VPRI is added to the circuit. This is depicted in Figure 18.
A solution for keeping the impedance of the SAC low involves
switching at a high frequency. This enables small magnetic components
because magnetizing currents remain low. Small magnetics mean small
path lengths for turns. Use of low loss core material at high frequencies
also reduces core losses.

Low impedance is a key requirement for powering a high-current, lowvoltage load efficiently. A switching regulation stage should have
minimal impedance while simultaneously providing appropriate
filtering for any switched current. The use of a SAC between the
regulation stage and the point of load provides a dual benefit of scaling
down series impedance leading back to the source and scaling up shunt
capacitance or energy storage as a function of its K factor squared.
However, the benefits are not useful if the series impedance of the SAC
is too high. The impedance of the SAC must be low, i.e. well beyond the
crossover frequency of the system.

The two main terms of power loss in the BCM module are:
n No load power dissipation (PPRI_NL): defined as the power
used to power up the module with an enabled powertrain
at no load.
n Resistive loss (RSEC): refers to the power loss across
the BCM® module modeled as pure resistive impedance.
Figure 18 — Sine Amplitude Converter with input capacitor
PDISSIPATED= PPRI_NL + PRSEC
A change in VPRI with the switch closed would result in a change in
capacitor current according to the following equation:
IC(t) = C

(7)
Assume that with the capacitor charged to VPRI, the switch is opened
and the capacitor is discharged through the idealized SAC. In this case,
IC= ISEC • K
(8)
(10)
Therefore,
PSEC_OUT = PPRI_IN – PDISSIPATED = PRI_IN – PPRI_NL – PRSEC
The above relations can be combined to calculate the overall module
efficiency:

(9)
The equation in terms of the output has yielded a K2 scaling factor for
C, specified in the denominator of the equation.
A K factor less than unity results in an effectively larger capacitance on
the secondary output when expressed in terms of the input. With a
K= 1/8 as shown in Figure 18, C = 1 μF would appear as C = 64 μF when
viewed from the secondary.

BCM380x475y800A3z
Input and Output Filter Design
Thermal Considerations
A major advantage of SAC™ systems versus conventional PWM
converters is that the transformer based SAC does not require external
filtering to function properly. The resonant LC tank, operated at
extreme high frequency, is amplitude modulated as a function of input
voltage and output current and efficiently transfers charge through the
isolation transformer. A small amount of capacitance embedded in the
primary and secondary stages of the module is sufficient for full
functionality and is key to achieving power density.
The ChiP package provides a high degree of flexibility in that it presents
three pathways to remove heat from internal power dissipating
components. Heat may be removed from the top surface, the bottom
surface and the leads. The extent to which these three surfaces are
cooled is a key component for determining the maximum power that is
available from a ChiP, as can be seen from Figure 1.
This paradigm shift requires system design to carefully evaluate
external filters in order to:
n Guarantee low source impedance:
To take full advantage of the BCM module’s dynamic
response, the impedance presented to its input terminals
must be low from DC to approximately 5 MHz. The
connection of the bus converter module to its power
source should be implemented with minimal distribution
inductance. If the interconnect inductance exceeds
100 nH, the input should be bypassed with a RC damper
to retain low source impedance and stable operation. With
an interconnect inductance of 200 nH, the RC damper
may be as high as 1 μF in series with 0.3 Ω. A single
electrolytic or equivalent low-Q capacitor may be used in
place of the series RC bypass.
Since the ChiP has a maximum internal temperature rating, it is
necessary to estimate this internal temperature based on a real thermal
solution. Given that there are three pathways to remove heat from the
ChiP, it is helpful to simplify the thermal solution into a roughly
equivalent circuit where power dissipation is modeled as a current
source, isothermal surface temperatures are represented as voltage
sources and the thermal resistances are represented as resistors. Figure
19 shows the “thermal circuit” for a VI Chip® BCM module 6123 in an
application where the top, bottom, and leads are cooled. In this case,
the BCM power dissipation is PDTOTAL and the three surface
temperatures are represented as TCASE_TOP, TCASE_BOTTOM, and TLEADS. This
thermal system can now be very easily analyzed using a SPICE
simulator with simple resistors, voltage sources, and a current source.
The results of the simulation would provide an estimate of heat flow
through the various pathways as well as internal temperature.
Thermal Resistance Top
n Further reduce input and/or output voltage ripple without
sacrificing dynamic response:
Given the wide bandwidth of the module, the source
response is generally the limiting factor in the overall
system response. Anomalies in the response of the source
will appear at the output of the module multiplied by its
K factor.
n Protect the module from overvoltage transients imposed
by the system that would exceed maximum ratings and
induce stresses:
The module primary/secondary voltage ranges shall not be
exceeded. An internal overvoltage lockout function
prevents operation outside of the normal operating input
range. Even when disabled, the powertrain is exposed
to the applied voltage and power MOSFETs must
withstand it.
Total load capacitance at the output of the BCM module shall not
exceed the specified maximum. Owing to the wide bandwidth and low
output impedance of the module, low-frequency bypass capacitance
and significant energy storage may be more densely and efficiently
provided by adding capacitance at the input of the module. At
frequencies <500 kHz the module appears as an impedance of RSEC
between the source and load.
Within this frequency range, capacitance at the input appears as
effective capacitance on the output per the relationship
defined in Eq. (13).

Alternatively, equations can be written around this circuit and
analyzed algebraically:
TINT – PD1 • 1.24 = TCASE_TOP
TINT – PD2 • 1.24 = TCASE_BOTTOM
TINT – PD3 • 7 = TLEADS
PDTOTAL = PD1+ PD2+ PD3
Where TINT represents the internal temperature and PD1, PD2, and PD3
represent the heat flow through the top side, bottom side, and leads
respectively.

Please note that Vicor has a suite of online tools, including a simulator
and thermal estimator which greatly simplify the task of determining
whether or not a BCM thermal configuration is valid for a given
condition. These tools can be found at:

Fuse Selection
In order to provide flexibility in configuring power systems
VI Chip® modules are not internally fused. Input line fusing
of VI Chip products is recommended at system level to provide thermal
protection in case of catastrophic failure.
The fuse shall be selected by closely matching system
requirements with the following characteristics:
n Current rating
(usually greater than maximum current of BCM module)
Current Sharing
n Maximum voltage rating
The performance of the SAC™ topology is based on efficient transfer of
energy through a transformer without the need of closed loop control.
For this reason, the transfer characteristic can be approximated by an
ideal transformer with a positive temperature coefficient series
resistance.
n Ambient temperature
(usually greater than the maximum possible input voltage)
This type of characteristic is close to the impedance characteristic of a
DC power distribution system both in dynamic (AC) behavior and for
steady state (DC) operation.
When multiple BCM modules of a given part number are connected in
an array they will inherently share the load current according to the
equivalent impedance divider that the system implements from the
power source to the point of load.
Some general recommendations to achieve matched array impedances
include:
n Dedicate common copper planes within the PCB
to deliver and return the current to the modules.
n Provide as symmetric a PCB layout as possible among modules
n An input filter is required for an array of BCMs in order to
n Nominal melting I2t
n Recommend fuse: ≤ 5 A Bussmann PC-Tron
Reverse Operation
BCM modules are capable of reverse power operation. Once the unit is
started, energy will be transferred from secondary back to the primary
whenever the secondary voltage exceeds VPRI • K. The module will
continue operation in this fashion for as long as no faults occur.
Transient operation in reverse is expected in cases where there is
significant energy storage on the output and transient voltages appear
on the input.
The BCM380T475P800A3R and BCM380M475P800A3R are both
qualified for continuous operation in reverse power condition. A
primary voltage of VPRI_DC > VPRI_UVLO+_R must be applied first allowing
primary reference controller and power train to start. Continuous
operation in reverse is then possible after a successful startup.
prevent circulating currents.
