Bringing PC lower than VPC_DIS will cause the module to enter standby. n Auxiliary voltage source: Once enabled in regular operational conditions (no fault), each BCM module PC provides a regulated 5V, 3.5mA voltage source. n Synchronized start up: In an array of parallel modules, PC pins should be connected to synchronize start up across units. This permits the maximum load and capacitance to scale by the number of paralleled modules. n Output disable: PC pin can be actively pulled down in order to disable the module. Pull down impedance shall be lower than 60Ω. n Fault detection flag: The PC 5V voltage source is internally turned off as soon as a fault is detected. n Note that PC can not sink significant current during a fault condition. The PC pin of a faulted module will not cause interconnected PC pins of other modules to be disabled. Temperature Monitor (TM) pin provides a voltage proportional to the absolute temperature of the converter control IC. It can be used to accomplish the following functions: n Monitor the control IC temperature: The temperature in Kelvin is equal to the voltage on the TM pin scaled by 100. (i.e. 3.0V = 300K = 27ºC). If a heat sink is applied, TM can be used to protect the system thermally. n Fault detection flag: The TM voltage source is internally turned off as soon as a fault is detected. For system monitoring purposes microcontroller interface faults are detected on falling edges of TM signal.

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 input and output stages of the module is sufficient for full functionality and is key to achieving power density. The BCM352x110y300B00 SAC can be simplified into the preceeding model. ROUT represents the impedance of the SAC, and is a function of the RDSON of the input and output MOSFETs and the winding resistance of the power transformer. IQ represents the quiescent current of the SAC control, gate drive circuitry, and core losses. The use of DC voltage transformation provides additional interesting attributes. Assuming that ROUT = 0Ω and IQ = 0A, Eq. (3) now becomes Eq. (1) and is essentially load independent, resistor R is now placed in series with VIN. At no load: R VOUT = VIN • K (1) VVin in + – SAC™ SAC K= = 1/32 1/32 K Vout V out K represents the “turns ratio” of the SAC. Rearranging Eq (1): VOUT (2) K= VIN Figure 18 — K = 1/32 Sine Amplitude Converter with series input resistor The relationship between VIN and VOUT becomes: In the presence of load, VOUT is represented by: VOUT = VIN • K – IOUT • ROUT (3) (5) Substituting the simplified version of Eq. (4) (IQ is assumed = 0A) into Eq. (5) yields: and IOUT is represented by: IIN – IQ IOUT = K BCM® Bus Converter Page 14 of 21 VOUT = (VIN – IIN • R) • K (4) Rev 1.2 08/2016 VOUT = VIN • K – IOUT • R • K2 vicorpower.com 800 927.9474 (6) BCM352x110y300B00 This is similar in form to Eq. (3), where ROUT is used to represent the characteristic impedance of the SAC™. However, in this case a real R on the input side of the SAC is effectively scaled by K 2 with respect to the output. Assuming that R = 1Ω, the effective R as seen from the secondary side is 1.0mΩ, with K = 1/32. A similar exercise should be performed with the additon of a capacitor or shunt impedance at the input to the SAC. A switch in series with VIN is added to the circuit. This is depicted in Figure 19. S VVin in + – C SAC™ SAC K = 1/32 K = 1/32 VVout out Low impedance is a key requirement for powering a highcurrent, 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 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. 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. The two main terms of power loss in the BCM module are: n No load power dissipation (PNL): defined as the power used to power up the module with an enabled powertrain at no load. Figure 19 — Sine Amplitude Converter™ with input capacitor A change in VIN with the switch closed would result in a change in capacitor current according to the following equation: n Resistive loss (PR ): refers to the power loss across OUT the BCM module modeled as pure resistive impedance. PDISSIPATED = PNL + PROUT (10) Therefore, IC(t) = C dVIN (7) dt Assume that with the capacitor charged to VIN, the switch is opened and the capacitor is discharged through the idealized SAC. In this case, IC = IOUT • K (8) substituting Eq. (1) and (8) into Eq. (7) reveals: POUT = PIN – PDISSIPATED = PIN – PNL – PROUT The above relations can be combined to calculate the overall module efficiency: POUT PIN – PNL – PROUT h = = P P IN IN = VIN • IIN – PNL – (IOUT)2 • ROUT VIN • IIN IOUT = C • dVOUT K2 dt (9) = 1 – (PNL + (IOUT)2 • ROUT) VIN • IIN The equation in terms of the output 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 output when expressed in terms of the input. With a K = 1/32 as shown in Figure 19, C = 1µF would appear as C = 1024µF when viewed from the output. BCM® Bus Converter Page 15 of 21 Rev 1.2 08/2016 (11) vicorpower.com 800 927.9474 (12) BCM352x110y300B00 Input and Output Filter Design A major advantage of SAC™ systems versus conventional PWM converters is that the transformers do not require large functional filters. 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 input and output stages of the module is sufficient for full functionality and is key to achieve power density. This paradigm shift requires system design to carefully evaluate external filters in order to: 1. Guarantee low source impedance: Within this frequency range, capacitance at the input appears as effective capacitance on the output per the relationship defined in Eq. 13. COUT = CIN K2 This enables a reduction in the size and number of capacitors used in a typical system. Thermal Considerations 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 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 input 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. 2. 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. This is illustrated in Figures 15 and 16. VI Chip® products are multi-chip modules whose temperature distribution varies greatly for each part number as well as with the input / output conditions, thermal management and environmental conditions. Maintaining the top of the BCM352x110y300B00 case to less than 100ºC will keep all junctions within the VI Chip module below 125ºC for most applications. The percent of total heat dissipated through the top surface versus through the J-lead is entirely dependent on the particular mechanical and thermal environment. The heat dissipated through the top surface is typically 60%. The heat dissipated through the J-lead onto the PCB surface is typically 40%. Use 100% top surface dissipation when designing for a conservative cooling solution. It is not recommended to use a VI Chip module for an extended period of time at full load without proper heat sinking. 3. Protect the module from overvoltage transients imposed by the system that would exceed maximum ratings and cause failures: The module input/output voltage ranges shall not be exceeded. An internal overvoltage lockout function prevents operation outside of the normal operating input range. Even during this condition, the powertrain is exposed to the applied voltage and power MOSFETs must withstand it. A criterion for protection is the maximum amount of energy that the input or output switches can tolerate if avalanched. 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 <500kHz the module appears as an impedance of ROUT between the source and load. BCM® Bus Converter Page 16 of 21 (13) Rev 1.2 08/2016 vicorpower.com 800 927.9474 BCM352x110y300B00 Current Sharing Fuse Selection 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. 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. 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 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) n Maximum voltage rating (usually greater than the maximum possible input voltage) n Ambient temperature n Nominal melting I2t n Recommend fuse: ≤ 2.5A Bussmann PC–Tron Fuse or ≤ 3.15A SOC type 36CFA Fuse. to deliver and return the current to the modules. n Provide as symmetric a PCB layout as possible among modules Reverse Operation n Apply same input / output filters (if present) to each unit. 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 VIN • K. The module will continue operation in this fashion for as long as no faults occur. For further details see AN:016 Using BCM Bus Converters in High Power Arrays. VIN ZIN_EQ1 BCM®1 ZOUT_EQ1 R0_1 ZIN_EQ2 BCM®2 The BCM352x110y300B00 has not been qualified for continuous operation in a reverse power condition. Furthermore fault protections which help protect the module in forward operation will not fully protect the module in reverse operation. VOUT ZOUT_EQ2 R0_2 + DC Load ZIN_EQn BCM®n Transient operation in reverse is expected in cases where there is significant energy storage on the output and transient voltages appear on the input.
