Product Overview
The VI BRICK® Pre-Regulator Module with
integrated filter is a very efficient non-isolated
regulator capable of both boosting and
bucking a wide range input voltage. It is
specifically designed to provide a controlled
Factorized Bus distribution voltage for
powering downstream VI BRICK Current
Multiplier Modules — fast, efficient, isolated,
low noise Point-of-Load (POL) converters. In
combination, VI BRICK PRMs and VTM®s form
a complete DC-DC converter subsystem
offering all of the unique benefits of Vicor’s
Factorized Power Architecture (FPA): high
density and efficiency; low noise operation;
architectural flexibility; extremely fast transient
response; and elimination of bulk capacitance
at the Point-of-Load (POL). In addition, the
integrated filter provides compliance to
MIL-STD-1275 and MIL-STD-704 for
(transients) and MIL-STD-461 (EMI).
distribution losses and enabling use of
narrower distribution bus traces. A Military
COTS VI BRICK PRM-VTM chip set can provide
up to 100 A or 120 W.
In FPA systems, the POL voltage is the product
of the Factorized Bus voltage delivered by the
VI BRICK PRM and the "K-factor" (the fixed
voltage transformation ratio) of a downstream
VTM. The PRM controls the Factorized Bus
voltage to provide regulation at the POL.
Because VTMs perform true voltage division
and current multiplication, the Factorized Bus
voltage may be set to a value that is substantially
higher than the bus voltages typically found in
"intermediate bus" systems, reducing
The Military COTS VI BRICK PRM with
integrated filter described in this data sheet
features a unique "Adaptive Loop" compensation
feedback: a single wire alternative to traditional
remote sensing and feedback loops that
enables precise control of an isolated POL
voltage without the need for either a direct
connection to the load or for noise sensitive,
bandwidth limiting, isolation devices in the
feedback path.

PIN / CONTROL FUNCTIONS
VH – Auxiliary Voltage
+In / -In DC Voltage Ports
The VI BRICK maximum input voltage should not be exceeded. PRM s will
turn on when the input voltage rises above its undervoltage lockout.
PC will toggle indicating an out of bounds condition.
®
®
ON / OFF Pin
The module is enabled when the ON / OFF pin is connected to CIN- or, as
an alternative, it is enabled by connecting the ON/OFF pin via a 4.7 k
resistor to -OUT pin. The module is disabled when the ON/OFF pin is left
floating.
+Out / -Out Factorized Voltage Output Ports
VH is a gated (e.g. mirrors PC), non-isolated, nominally 9 Volt, regulated
DC voltage (see “Auxiliary Pins” specifications, on Page 7) that is
referenced to SG. VH may be used to power external circuitry having a
total current consumption of no more than 5 mA under either transient
or steady state conditons including turn-on.
SC – Secondary Control
The load voltage may be controlled by connecting a resistor or voltage
source to the SC port referenced to SG. The slew rate of the output
voltage may be controlled by controlling the rate-of-rise of the voltage at
the SC port (e.g., to limit inrush current into a capacitive load).
These ports provide the Factorized Bus voltage output. The –Out port is
connected internally to the –In port through a current sense resistor. The
PRM has a maximum power and a maximum current rating and is
protected if either rating is exceeded. Do not short –Out to –In.
This port provides a low inductance Kelvin connection to –In and should be
used as reference for the OS, CD, SC,VH and IL ports.
VC – VTM Control
OS – Output Set
The VTM Control (VC) port supplies an initial VCC voltage to downstream
VTMs, enabling the VTMs and synchronizing the rise of the VTM output
voltage to that of the PRM. The VC port also provides feedback to the
PRM to compensate for voltage drop due to the VTM output resistance.
The PRM’s VC port should be connected to the VTM VC port. A PRM VC
port can drive a maximum of two (2) VTM VC ports.
The application-specific value of the Factorized Bus voltage (Vf) is set by
connecting a resistor between OS and SG. Resistor value selection is shown
in Table 1 on Page 9, and described on Page 10. If no resistor is connected,
the PRM output will be approximately one volt.
®
PC – Primary Control
The PRM voltage output is enabled when the PC pin is open circuit
(floating). To disable the PRM output voltage, the PC pin is pulled low.
Open collector optocouplers, transistors, or relays can be used to control
the PC pin. When using multiple PRMs in a high power array, the PC ports
must be tied together to synchronize their turn on. During an abnormal
condition the PC pin will pulse (Fig.15) as the PRM initiates a restart cycle.
This will continue until the abnormal condition is rectified. The PC should
not be used as an auxiliary voltage supply, nor should it be switched at a
rate greater than 1 Hz.
SG – Signal Ground
CD – Compensation Device
Adaptive Loop control is configured by connecting an external resistor
between the CD port and SG. Selection of an appropriate resistor value
(see Equation 2 on Page 9 and Table 1 on Page 8) configures the PRM to
compensate for voltage drops in the equivalent output resistance of the
VTM and the PRM-VTM distribution bus. If no resistor is connected to CD,
the PRM will be in Local Loop mode and will regulate the
+Out / –Out voltage to a fixed value.
TM – Factory Use Only
ON/OFF
-OUT
EMI
GND
IL – Current Limit Adjust
The PRM has a preset, maximum, current limit set point. The IL port may
be used to reduce the current limit set point to a lower value. The IL port
must be connected to a 0.01 µF capacitor to set pin in order to prevent the
noise from interfering PRM during the transient surge. See “adjusting
current limits” on page 11.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Overview of Adaptive Loop Compensation
The VI BRICK’s bi-directional VC port :
Adaptive Loop compensation, illustrated in Figure 11, contributes to the
bandwidth and speed advantage of Factorized Power. The PRM® monitors
its output current and automatically adjusts its output voltage to
compensate for the voltage drop in the output resistance of the VTM®.
ROS sets the desired value of the VTM output voltage, Vout; RCD is set to a
value that compensates for the output resistance of the VTM (which,
ideally, is located at the point of load). For selection of ROS and RCD, refer
to Table 1 below or Page 10.
1. Provides a wake up signal from the PRM to the VTM that
synchronizes the rise of the VTM output voltage to that of the PRM.
2. Provides feedback from the VTM to the PRM to enable the PRM to
compensate for the voltage drop in VTM output resistance, RO.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Output Voltage Setting with Adaptive Loop
Output Voltage Trimming (optional)
The equations for calculating ROS and RCD to set a VTM output
voltage are:
After setting the output voltage from the procedure above the output
may be margined down (26 Vf min) by a resistor from SC-SG using this
formula:

A low voltage source can be applied to the SC port to margin the load
voltage in proportion to the SC reference voltage.
An external capacitor can be added to the SC port as shown in Figure 19
to control the output voltage slew rate for soft start.
VL = Desired load voltage
VOUT = VTM output voltage
K = VTM transformation ratio

APPLICATION NOTES
OVP – Overvoltage Protection
Adjusting Current Limit
The output Overvoltage Protection set point of the MR028B036M012FPT
is factory preset for 56 V. If this threshold is exceeded the output shuts
down and a restart sequence is initiated, also indicated by PC pulsing.
If the condition that causes OVP is still present, the unit will again shut
down. This cycle will be repeated until the fault condition is removed.
The OVP set point may be set at the factory to meet unique high voltage
requirements.
The current limit can be lowered by placing an external resistor between
the IL and SG ports (see Figure 21 for resistor values). With the IL port
open-circuit, the current limit is preset to be within the range specified in
the output specifications table on Page 2.

Outside of Viable Trim Range
As shown in Figure 20, the MR028B036M012FPT is rated to deliver 3.3 A
maximum, when it is delivering an output voltage in the range from 26 V
to 36 V, and 120 W, maximum, when delivering an output voltage in the
range from 36 V to 50 V. When configuring a PRM for use with a specific
VTM®, refer to the appropriate VTM data sheet. The VTM input power can
be calculated by dividing the VTM output power by the VTM efficiency
(available from the VTM data sheet). The input power required by the VTM
should not exceed the output power rating of the PRM.

A fuse should be incorporated at the input to the PRM®, in series with the
+In port. A fast acting fuse, NANO2 FUSE 451/453 Series 10 A 125 V, or
equivalent, may be required to meet certain safety agency Conditions of
Acceptability. Always ascertain and observe the safety, regulatory, or other
agency specifications that apply to your specific application. For agency
approvals and fusing conditions, please see the corresponding page on our
website at www.vicorpower.com.
Factorized Bus Voltage (VF)
Figure 20 — MR028B036M012FPT rating based on Factorized Bus voltage
The Factorized Bus voltage should not exceed an absolute limit of 50 V,
including steady state, ripple and transient conditions. Exceeding this limit
may cause the internal OVP set point to be exceeded.
