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 relationship between VHI and VLO becomes:

VLO = VHI • K – ILO • R • K 2

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 62.5mΩ, with K = 1/4.

BCM3814x60E15A3yzz
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 Figure 21.
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.

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 two main terms of power loss in the BCM module are:

A K factor less than unity results in an effectively larger capacitance

appear as C = 16µF when viewed from the low voltage side.

Filter Design
Thermal Considerations
A major advantage of BCM systems versus conventional PWM
converters is that the transformer based BCM does not require
external filtering to function properly. The resonant LC tank,
operated at extreme high frequency, is amplitude modulated as
a function of HI side voltage and LO side current and efficiently
transfers charge through the isolation transformer. 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 power density.
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 internal 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 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 HI side terminals must be low
from DC to approximately 5MHz. The connection of the bus
converter module to its power source should be implemented
with minimal distribution inductance. If the interconnect
inductance exceeds 100nH, the HI side should be bypassed
with a RC damper to retain low source impedance and stable
operation. With an interconnect inductance of 200nH, the RC
damper may be as high as 1µF in series with 0.3Ω. A single
electrolytic or equivalent low-Q capacitor may be used in place
of the series RC bypass.
–

PDISS
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 LO
side of the module multiplied by its K factor.
by the system that would exceed maximum ratings and
induce stresses:
The module high side/low side voltage ranges shall not be
exceeded. An internal overvoltage lockout function prevents
operation outside of the normal operating HI side range. Even
when disabled, the powertrain is exposed to the applied voltage
and the power MOSFETs must withstand it.
Total load capacitance at the LO side of the BCM module shall not
exceed the specified maximum. Owing to the wide bandwidth
and small LO side impedance of the module, low-frequency bypass
capacitance and significant energy storage may be more densely
and efficiently provided by adding capacitance at the HI side of
the module. At frequencies <500kHz the module appears as an
impedance of RLO between the source and load.
+
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:
nn
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:
Within this frequency range, capacitance at the HI side appears as
effective capacitance on the LO side per the relationship defined
in Equation 13.
(13)
This enables a reduction in the size and number of capacitors used
in a typical system.

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.
Figure 24 — BCM module array
Fuse Selection
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.
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.
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)
nn
Maximum voltage rating
(usually greater than the maximum possible input voltage)
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.

exceeds VHI • K. The module will continue operation in this fashion
as long as no faults occur.
The BCM3814x60E15A3yzz has not been qualified for continuous
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.

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.

The PMBus address (ADDR Pin) should be set to one of the
predetermined 16 possible addresses shown in the table below
using a resistor between the ADDR pin and SGND pin.
The BCM accepts only a fixed and persistent address and does not
support SMBus address resolution protocol. At initial power up, the
BCM controller will sample the address pin voltage and will keep
this address until device power is removed.

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.

Read Byte protocol:
A Read message begins by first sending a Write Command, followed by a REPEATED START Bit and a slave Address. After receiving the
READ bit, the BCM controller begins transmission of the Data responding to the Command. Once the Host receives the requested Data, it
terminates the message with a NACK preceding a stop condition signifying the end of a read transfer.

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
The maximum possible delay is 100ms. Default value is set
to (00h). The reported value can be interpreted using the
following equation.
Maximum supported bus speed is 400kHz
The Device does not have SMBALERT# pin and does
not support the SMBus Alert Response protocol

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.

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.
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.
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 BCM has hardware protections and supervisory limits. The
hardware protections provide an additional layer of protection
and have the fastest response time. The Hardware Protections
Shutdown Fault, when asserted, indicates that at least one of the
powertrain protection faults is triggered. This fault will also be
asserted if a disabled fault event occurs after asserting any bit using
the DISABLE_FAULTS COMMAND.
The BCM UART is designed to operate with the controller UART.
If the BCM UART CML is asserted, it may indicate a hardware or
connection issue between both devices.

When the PAGE COMMAND (00h) data byte is equal to (00h),
the BCM Reverse operation, Analog Controller Shutdown Fault,
and BCM UART CML bit will return the result of the active BCM.
The BCM UART CML will also be asserted if the active BCM
stops responding. The BCM must communicate at least once
to the internal controller in order to trigger this FAULT.
The BCM UART CML can be cleared using the PAGE (00h)
CLEAR_FAULTS (03h) Command.
