Description
The VRNB-40A Series are non-isolated step down dc/dc converters providing up to 40A of output current and
designed to be compatible to the Intel VRM 9.0 / 9.1 VID codes. Standard features include remote on/off, over
current protection, remote sense and a power good signal. This product also makes use of adaptive positioning
to improve transient response performance. These products are specifically design to power a wide variety of
high performance microprocessors but may be used almost anywhere low-voltage silicon is being employed and
a nominal 12V source is available. Typical applications include file servers, work stations and other computing
applications.

Part Numbers
There are two different models in this series based
on different loop compensation for various types of
capacitor banks. These models are as follows:
VRNB-40A18B: Compensated for capacitor bank
utilizing 4-6 820uF Oscon capacitors.
VRNB-40A18M: Compensated for Oscon caps
but all output voltages are divided by 1.1 yielding
an effective range of 1.0 to 1.68V compatible with
the requirements for new Motorola
microprocessors.
Note: Grounding pin 9 of this device doubles the output voltages shown in this
table.
