Signal Characteristics
Specifications apply over all line and load conditions, unless otherwise noted; boldface specifications apply over the temperature range of
–40°C ≤ TCASE ≤100°C (T-Grade); all other specifications are at TCASE = 25ºC unless otherwise noted. Please Note: For chassis mount model, Vicor part
number 42550 will be needed for applications requiring the use of the signal pins. Signal cable 42550 is rated up to five insertions and extractions. To avoid
unnecessary stress on the connector, the cable should be appropriately strain relieved.
EXT. BIAS (VDDB) Pin
• VDDB powers the internal controller.
• VDDB needs to be applied to enable and disable the BCM through PMBus™ control (using OPERATION COMMAND), and to adjust warning and
protection thresholds.
• VDDB voltage not required for telemetry; however, if VDDB is not applied, telemetry information will be lost when VIN is removed.

Figure 19 — BCM DC model (Forward Direction)
The BCM uses a high frequency resonant tank to move energy
from the high voltage side to the low voltage side and vice versa.
The resonant LC tank, operated at high frequency, is amplitude
modulated as a function of the HI side voltage and the LO side
current. A small amount of capacitance embedded in the high
voltage side and low voltage side stages of the module is sufficient
for full functionality and is key to achieving high power density.
The effective DC voltage transformer action provides additional
interesting attributes. Assuming that RLO = 0Ω and IHI_Q = 0A,
Equation 3 now becomes Equation 1 and is essentially load
independent, resistor R is now placed in series with VHI.
The BCM4414xD1E2663yzz can be simplified into the model shown
in Figure 19.

The relationship between VHI and VLO becomes:

VLO = VHI • K – ILO • R • K 2
(4)
RLO represents the impedance of the BCM and is a function of the
RDS_ON of the HI side and LO side MOSFETs, PC board resistance of
HI side and LO side boards and the winding resistance of the power
transformer. IHI_Q represents the HI side quiescent current of the
BCM controller, gate drive circuitry and core losses.

This is similar in form to Equation 3, where RLO is used to represent
the characteristic impedance of the BCM. However, in this case a
real resistor, R, on the high voltage side of the BCM is effectively
scaled by K 2 with respect to the low voltage side.
Assuming that R = 1Ω, the effective R as seen from the low voltage
side is 3.91mΩ, with K = 1/16.

A similar exercise can be performed with the addition of a
capacitor or shunt impedance at the high voltage side of the BCM.
A switch in series with VHI is added to the circuit. This is depicted in

A solution for keeping the impedance of the BCM low involves
switching at a high frequency. This enables the use of 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.

The equation in terms of the LO side has yielded a K 2 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 low voltage side when expressed in terms of the high
voltage side. With K = 1/16 as shown in Figure 21, C = 1µF would
appear as C = 256µF when viewed from the low voltage side.

The two main terms of power loss in the BCM module are:
nn
Resistive loss (PR ): refers to the power loss across the BCM
LO
module modeled as pure resistive impedance.
Assume that with the capacitor charged to VHI, the switch is
opened and the capacitor is discharged through the idealized BCM.
In this case,
IC = ILO • K
Low impedance is a key requirement for powering a high‑current,
low-voltage load efficiently. A switching regulation stage
should have minimal impedance while simultaneously providing
appropriate filtering for any switched current. The use of a BCM
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, these benefits are
not achieved if the series impedance of the BCM is too high. The
impedance of the BCM must be low, i.e., well beyond the crossover
frequency of the system.

Single side cooling: the model of Figure 22 can be simplified by
calculating the parallel resistor network and using one simple
thermal resistance number and the internal power dissipation
curves; an example for bottom side cooling only is shown in
Figure 23.
In this case, θINT can be derived as follows:

Figure 23 — Single-sided cooling VIA thermal model
The performance of the BCM 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.
In this case, the internal power dissipation is PDISS, θINT_TOP and
θINT_BOT are the thermal resistance characteristics of the VIA module
and the top and bottom surface temperatures are represented as
TC_TOP and TC_BOT. It is interesting to note that the package itself
provides a high degree of thermal coupling between the top and
bottom case surfaces (represented in the model by the resistor
θHOU). This feature enables two main options regarding thermal
designs:

Double side cooling: while this option might bring limited
advantage to the module internal components (given the
surface-to-surface coupling provided), it might be appealing
in cases where the external thermal system requires allocating
power to two different elements, such as heatsinks with
independent airflows or a combination of chassis/air cooling.

The VIA package provides effective conduction cooling from either
of the two module surfaces. Heat may be removed from the top
surface, the bottom surface or both. The extent to which these
two surfaces are cooled is a key component for determining the
maximum power that can be processed by a VIA, as can be seen
from the specified thermal operating area in Figure 1. Since the
VIA has a maximum internal temperature rating, it is necessary to
estimate this temperature based on a system-level thermal solution.
For this purpose, 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 22 shows the “thermal circuit” for the VIA module.
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. Ensuring
equal current sharing among modules requires that BCM array
impedances be matched.
Some general recommendations to achieve matched array
impedances include:
nn
Dedicate common copper planes/wires within the PCB/Chassis to
deliver and return the current to the modules.
nn
Provide as symmetric a PCB/Wiring layout as possible
among modules

Fuse Selection
Summary
In order to provide flexibility in configuring power systems, BCM in
a VIA package modules are not internally fused. Input line fusing
of BCM products is recommended at the 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:
nn
Current rating
(usually greater than maximum current of BCM module)
The final VIA assembly provides basic insulation from the high
voltage side to case, basic insulation from the high voltage side to
the low voltage side and functional insulation from low voltage
side to case. The case is required to be connected to protective
earth in the final installation. The protective earth connection can
be accomplished through a dedicated wiring harness (example: ring
terminal clamped by mounting screw) or surface contact (example:
pressure contact on bare conductive chassis or PCB copper layer
with no solder mask).
The ground connection of the top case must be 3 orders of
magnitude more resistive than the current return connection to
the bottom case. The construction of the VIA can be summarized
by describing it as a “Class II” component installed in a “Class I”
subassembly. The insulation from the high voltage side to the low
voltage side can only be tested at basic insulation values on the
fully assembled VIA product.

Reverse Operation
BCM modules are capable of reverse power operation. Once the
unit is started, energy will be transferred from the low voltage
side back to the high voltage side whenever the low voltage side
exceeds VHI • K. The module will continue operation in this fashion
as long as no faults occur.

operation in a reverse power condition. However, fault protections
that help to protect the module in forward operation will also
protect the module in reverse operation.
Transient operation in reverse is expected in cases where there is
significant energy storage on the low voltage side and transient
voltages appear on the high voltage side.

Filtering
The BCM in a VIA package has built-in single stage EMI filtering
with Hot-Swap circuitry located on the high voltage side. The
integrated EMI filtering consists of a common mode choke,
differential mode capacitors, and Y2 common mode capacitors. A
typical test set-up block diagram for conducted emissions is shown
in Figure 27.
The built-in EMI filtering reduces the HI side voltage ripple. External
LO side filtering can be added as needed, with ceramic capacitance
used as a LO side bypass for this purpose. The filtering, along
with Hot-Swap circuitry, protects the BCM in a VIA package from
overvoltage transients imposed by a system that would exceed
maximum ratings. VIA HI side and LO side voltage ranges shall not
be exceeded. An internal overvoltage function prevents operation
outside of the normal operating HI side range. However, the VIA
is exposed to the applied voltage even when disabled and must
withstand it.
The source response is generally the limiting factor in the
overall system response, given the wide bandwidth of the BCM.
Anomalies in the response of the source will appear at the LO side
of the module multiplied by its K factor.
Total load capacitance at the LO side of the BCM shall not exceed
the specified maximum to ensure correct operation in start up.
Due to the wide bandwidth and small LO side impedance of the
BCM, low frequency bypass capacitance and significant energy
storage may be more densely and efficiently provided by adding
capacitance at the HI side of the BCM.
At frequencies less than 500kHz, the BCM appears as an
impedance of RLO between the source and load. Within this
frequency range, capacitance connected at the HI side appears as
an effective scaled capacitance on the LO side per the relationship
defined in equation (14).
This enables a reduction in the size and number of capacitors used
in a typical system.

Many applications use a power architecture based on a 380VDC
distribution bus. This supply level is emerging as a new standard
for efficient distribution of power through board, rack and chassis
mounted telecom and datacom systems. The interconnection
between the different modules is accomplished with a backplane
and motherboard. Power is commonly provided to the various
module slots via a 380VDC distribution bus.
In the event of a fault, removal of the faulty module from the rack
is relatively easy, provided that the remaining power modules can
support the step increase in load. Plugging in the replacement
module has more potential for problems, as it presents an
uncharged capacitor load and will draw a large inrush current. This
could cause a momentary, but unacceptable interruption or sag
in the backplane power bus if not limited. Additional problems
may arise if ordinary power module connectors are used, since
the connector pins will engage and disengage in a random and
unpredictable sequence during insertion and removal.
Hot-Swap or hot-plug is a highly desirable feature in many
applications, but also results in several issues that must be
addressed in the system design. A number of related phenomena
occur with a live insertion and removal event, including contact
bouncing, arcing between HI side connector pins, and large voltage
and current transients. Hot-Swap circuitry in the converter modules
protects the module itself and the rest of the system from the
problems associated with live insertion.
This module provides a high level of integration for DC-DC
converters in 380VDC distribution systems, saving design time
and board space. To allow for maintenance, reconfiguration,
redundancy and system upgrades, the BCM in a VIA package is
designed to address the function of Hot-Swapping at the 380VDC
distribution bus. Hot-Swap circuitry, as shown in Figure 28, uses
an active MOSFET switching device in series with the HI side line.
During module insertion, the MOSFET is driven into a resistive state
to limit the inrush current as the input capacitance of the inserted
unit is charged. The MOSFET is fully enhanced once the module’s
HI side capacitor has sufficiently charged to minimize losses
during normal operation. Verification of the Hot-Swap circuitry
performance is illustrated through plots of the module’s response
to a live insertion event in Figures 30 and 31.

The controller of the BCM in a VIA package is referenced to the low voltage side signal ground (SGND).
The BCM in a VIA package provides the Host PMBus system with accurate telemetry monitoring and reporting, threshold and
warning limits adjustment, in addition to corresponding status flags. The standalone BCM is periodically polled for status by the host
PMBus. Direct communication to the BCM is enabled by a page command. For example, the page (0x00) prior to a telemetry inquiry
points to the controller data and page (0x01) prior to a telemetry inquiry points to the BCM parameters.
The BCM enables the PMBus compatible host interface with an operating bus speed of up to 400kHz. The BCM follows the PMBus
command structure and specification.

Command Structure Overview
Write Byte protocol:
The Host always initiates PMBus™ communication with a START bit. All messages are terminated by the Host with a STOP bit. In a write
message, the master sends the slave device address followed by a write bit. Once the slave acknowledges, the master proceeds with the
command code and then similarly the data byte.

CLEAR_FAULTS Command (03h)
This command clears all status bits that have been previously set.
Persistent or active faults are re-asserted again once cleared. All
faults are latched once asserted in the BCM controller. Registered
faults will not be cleared when shutting down the BCM powertrain
by recycling the BCM high side voltage or sending the
OPERATION command.
CAPABILITY Command (19h)
The VIN_UV_WARN_LIMIT (58h) and VIN_UV_FAULT_LIMIT
(59h) are set by the factory and cannot be changed by the host.
However, a host can disable the undervoltage setting using the
DISABLE_FAULT COMMAND (D7h).
All FAULT_RESPONSE commands are unsupported. The BCM
powertrain supervisory limits and powertrain protection will behave
as described in the Electrical Specifications. In general, once a fault
is detected, the BCM powertrain will shut down and attempt to
auto-restart after a predetermined delay.
TON_DELAY Command (60h)
The value of this register word is set in non-volatile memory and
can only be written when the BCM is disabled.
Packet Error Checking is not supported
Maximum supported bus speed is 400kHz
The maximum possible delay is 100ms. Default value is set to
(00h). The reported value can be interpreted using the
following equation.
The Device does not have SMBALERT# pin and does

Staggering start up in an array is possible with the TON_DELAY
Command. This delay will be in addition to any start-up delay
inherent in the BCM module. For example: start-up delay from
application of VHI is typically 20ms. When TON_DELAY is greater
than zero, the set delay will be added to it.
b
The BCM controller returns a default value of 20h. This value
indicates that the PMBus™ frequency supported is up to 400kHz
and that both Packet Error Checking (PEC) and SMBALERT# are
not supported.
OT_FAULT_LIMIT Command (4Fh),
OT_WARN_ LIMIT Command (51h),
VIN_OV_FAULT_ LIMIT Command (55h),
VIN_OV_WARN_ LIMIT Command (57h),
IIN_OC_FAULT_ LIMIT Command (5Bh),
IIN_OC_WARN_ LIMIT Command (5Dh)
The values of these registers are set in non-volatile memory and
can only be written when the BCM is disabled.
The values of the above mentioned faults and warnings are set by
default to 100% of the respective BCM model supervisory limits.
However, these limits can be set to a lower value. For example: In
order for a limit percentage to be set to 80%, one would send a
write command with a (50h) Data Word.
Any values outside the range of (00h – 64h) sent by a host will be
rejected­, will not override the currently stored value and will set the
Unsupported Data bit in STATUS_CML.
The SET_ALL_THRESHOLDS COMMAND (D5h) combines in one
block overtemperature fault and warning limits, VHI overvoltage
fault and warning limits as well as ILO overcurrent fault and warning
limits. A delay prior to a read command of up to 200ms following a
write of new value is required.

All fault or warning flags, if set, will remain asserted until cleared
by the host or once the BCM and VDDB power is removed.
This includes undervoltage fault, overvoltage fault, overvoltage
warning, overcurrent warning, overtemperature fault,
overtemperature warning, undertemperature fault, reverse
operation, communication faults and analog controller
shutdown fault.
If the BCM controller is powered through VDDB, it will retain the
last telemetry data and this information will be available to the user
via a PMBus Status request. This is in agreement with the PMBus
standard, which requires that status bits remain set until specifically
cleared. Note that in the case where the BCM VHI is lost, the status
will always indicate an undervoltage fault, in addition to any other
fault that occurred.
Asserted status bits in all status registers, with the exception of
STATUS_WORD and STATUS_BYTE, can be individually cleared.
This is done by sending a data byte with one in the bit position
corresponding to the intended warning or fault to be cleared. Refer
to the PMBus™ Power System Management Protocol Specification
– Part II – Revision 1.2 for details.
NONE OF THE ABOVE bit will be asserted if either the
STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC (80h) or the High Byte of the
STATUS WORD is set.
STATUS_IOUT (7Bh)
The POWER_GOOD# bit reflects the state of the device and does
not reflect the state of the POWER_GOOD# signal limits. The
POWER_GOOD_ON COMMAND (5Eh) and POWER_GOOD_OFF
COMMAND (5Fh) are not supported. The POWER_GOOD# bit is
set, when the BCM is not in the active state, to indicate that the
powertrain is inactive and not switching. The POWER_GOOD#
bit is cleared, when the BCM is in the active state, 5ms after the
powertrain is activated allowing for soft start to elapse.
POWER_GOOD# and OFF bits cannot be cleared as they always
reflect the current state of the device.

The Busy bit can be cleared using CLEAR_ALL Command (03h) or
by writing either data value (40h, 80h) to PAGE (00h) using the
STATUS_BYTE (78h).
Fault reporting, such as SMBALERT# signal output, and host
notification by temporarily acquiring bus master status is
not supported.
