Product Description
• Integrated ceramic capacitance filtering
The BCM in a VIA package is a high efficiency Bus Converter,
operating from a 36 to 60VDC high voltage bus to deliver an
isolated 6 to 10VDC unregulated, low voltage.
• Parallel operation for multi-kW arrays
• OV, OC, UV, short circuit and thermal protection
• 3814 package
This unique ultra-low profile module incorporates DC-DC
conversion, integrated filtering and PMBus™ commands and
controls in a chassis or PCB mount form factor.
• High MTBF
• Thermally enhanced VIA™ package
The BCM offers low noise, fast transient response and industry
leading efficiency and power density. A low voltage side referenced
PMBus™ compatible telemetry and control interface provides
access to the BCM’s internal controller configuration, fault
monitoring, and other telemetry functions.
• PMBusTM management interface
Typical Applications
Leveraging the thermal and density benefits of Vicor’s VIA
packaging technology, the BCM module offers flexible thermal
management options with very low top and bottom side thermal
impedances.
• DC Power Distribution
• Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) Equipment
When combined with downstream Vicor DC-DC conversion
components and regulators, the BCM allows the Power Design
Engineer to employ a simple, low-profile design which will
differentiate the end system without compromising on cost or
performance metrics.

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 tied to the chassis.
EXT. BIAS (VDDB) Pin
• 5V supply input, required to power the circuitry internal to the BCM in a VIA package for communication signals such as SCL, SDA, ADDR etc
• Voltage to EXT BIAS pin is needed for PMBus™ enable and disable control. It is not needed for PMBus monitoring voltage, current, power or temperature.
Lower voltage is better. It will help to lower the power dissapation in the internal regulator that is generating 3.3V voltage for communication circuits.
• Apply voltage to this pin between 4.5V and 9V. The nominal voltage is 5V.

Figure 16 — BCM DC model (Forward Direction)
The BCM in a VIA package uses a high frequency resonant tank
to move energy from high voltage side to low voltage side and
vice versa. The resonant LC tank, operated at high frequency, is
amplitude modulated as a function of HI side voltage and 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 use of DC voltage transformation provides additional
interesting attributes. Assuming that RLO = 0Ω and IHI_Q = 0A,
Eq. (3) now becomes Eq. (3) and is essentially load independent,
resistor R is now placed in series with VHI.
The BCM3814x60E10A5yzz can be simplified into the preceeding

transformer. IHI _Q represents the HI side quiescent current of the
BCM control, gate drive circuitry, and core losses.

This is similar in form to Eq. (3), where RLO is used to represent the
characteristic impedance of the BCM. However, in this case a real 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 28mΩ, with K = 1/6.

A similar exercise should be performed with the additon of a
capacitor or shunt impedance at the high voltage side of the BCM.

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 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, the benefits are
not useful 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 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.
Figure 18 — BCM with HI side capacitor
The two main terms of power loss in the BCM module are:
n No load power dissipation (PHI_NL): defined as the power
used to power up the module with an enabled powertrain
at no load.
A change in VHI with the switch closed would result in a change in
capacitor current according to the following equation:
n Resistive loss (RLO): refers to the power loss across dVHI
Ic(t) = C

Assume that with the capacitor charged to VHI, the switch is
opened and the capacitor is discharged through the idealized BCM.

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 a K = 1/6 as shown in Figure 18,
C = 1µF would appear as C = 36µF 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 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.
To 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 19 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.
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.
n Protect the module from overvoltage transients imposed
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 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.

Figure 19 — Double sided cooling VIA thermal model
In this case, the internal power dissipation is PDISS, R JC_TOP and
R JC_BOT are 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 notice 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 RHOU). This
feature enables two main options regarding thermal designs:
n Single side cooling: the model of Figure 19 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 20.
In this case, R JC can be derived as following:
RJC =
(RJC_TOP + RHOU) • RJC_BOT
RJC_TOP + RHOU + RJC_BOT

This enables a reduction in the size and number of capacitors used

n 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, like for example heatsinks with
independent airflows or a combination of chassis/air cooling.

Fuse Selection
Current Sharing
The performance of the BCM in a VIA package 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.
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/wires within the PCB/Chassis
to deliver and return the current to the VIA modules.
n Provide as symmetric a PCB/Wiring layout as possible among
VIA™ modules
For further details see AN:016 Using BCM Bus Converters
in High Power Arrays.
In order to provide flexibility in configuring power systems, BCM in
a VIA package modules are not internally fused. Input line fusing of
BCM in a VIA package products is recommended at 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:
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: ≤40A Littlefuse 456 Series (HI side)
Reverse Operation
BCM modules are capable of reverse power operation. Once the
unit is started, energy will be transferred from low voltage side
back to the high voltage side whenever the low side voltage
exceeds VHI • K. The module will continue operation in this fashion
for as long as no faults occur.
The BCM3814x60E10A5yzz 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.
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 BCM’s internal µC is referenced to low voltage side signal ground.
The BCM provides the host system µC with access to standalone BCM. The standalone BCM is constantly polled for status by the
internal µC. Direct communication to BCM is enabled by a page command. For example, the page (0x00) prior to a telemetry inquiry
points to the internal µC data and pages (0x01) prior to a telemetry inquiry points to the BCM connected data. The BCM constantly
polls it’s data through the PMBus.
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
The PMBus address (ADDR Pin) should be set to one of a
predetermined 16 possible addresses shown in the table below
using a resistor between 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 internal µC will sample the address pin voltage, and will hold
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 internal µC 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.

Supported Commands Transaction Type
Page Command (00h)
A direct communication to the BCM internal µC and a simulated
communication to non-PMBus™ devices is enabled by a page
command. Supported command access privileges with a preselected PAGE are defined in the following table. Deviation from
this table generates a communication error in
STATUS_CML register.
The page command data byte of 00h prior to a command call will
address the internal µC specific data and a page data byte of FFh
would broadcast to all of the connected BCMs. The value of the
Data Byte corresponds to the pin name trailing number with the
exception of 00h and FFh.

OPERATION Command (01h)
The Operation command can be used to turn on and off the
connected BCM. Note that the host OPERATION command will not
enable the BCM if the BCM EN pin is disabled in hardware with
respect to the pre‐set pin polarity. Only with the EN pin active, will
the OPERATION command provide ON/OFF control.
If synchronous startup is required in the system, it is recommended
to use the command from host PMBus in order to achieve
simultaneous array startup.

The BCM Enable pin is ALWAYS to be asserted for powerup. The BCM_EN_POLARITY command (D0h) bit[(1) defines the logic level required for the control pin (i.e BCM Enable pin) to be asserted.

[3] See MFR_SPECIFIC_00 / BCM_EN_POLARITY to change the Polarity
of the BCM Enable Pin
[4] The BCM powertrain once disabled cannot sink current
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 internal µC. Registered faults
will not be cleared when shutting down the BCM powertrain by
recycling the BCM high side voltage, or toggling the BCM EN pin,
or sending the OPERATION command.

IIN_OC_WARN_ LIMIT Command (5Dh)
The values of these registers are set in non‐volatile memory and
can only be written when the BCMs are disabled.
The values of the above mentioned fault and warning are set by
default to a 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 over temperature 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.
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 under voltage 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 BCM datasheet. In general, once a fault is
detected, the BCM powertrain will shut down and attempt to auto‐
restart after a predetermined delay.

The internal µC returns a default value of 20h. This value indicates
that the PMBus™ frequency supported is up to 400KHz and that

Staggering startup in an array is possible with TON_DELAY
Command. This delay will be in addition to any startup delay
inherent in the BCM module. For example: startup delay from
application of VHI is typically 20ms whereas startup with EN pin is
typically 250µs. When TON_DELAY is greater than zero, the set
delay will be added to both.

All fault or warning flags, if set, will remain asserted until
cleared by the host or once the internal µC power is removed.
This includes under voltage fault, overvoltage fault, overvoltage
warning, overcurrent warning, over temperature fault, over
temperature warning, under temperature 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.
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 anytime the BCM is not in the enabled state, to indicate that
the powertrain is inactive and not switching. The POWER_GOOD#
bit is cleared when the BCM completes the enabling state, 5 ms
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.
If the internal µC is still powered, it will retain the last status it
received from the BCM 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 this case where the BCM VHI­­­ is lost,
the status will always indicate an under voltage fault, in addition to
any other fault
that occurred.
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.

When PAGE COMMAND (00h) data byte is equal to (00h), the
BCM Reverse operation, Analog Controller Shutdown Fault, and
BCM UART CML bit will return OR-ing result of active BCMs. The
BCM UART CML will also be asserted if any of the active BCMs
stops responding. The BCM must communicate at least once to
the internal µC in order to trigger this FAULT. The BCM UART CML
can be cleared from the culprit BCM once the internal µC is able
to communicate with it once again or can be cleared using PAGE
(00h) CLEAR_FAULTS (03h) Command.

Values of this register block is set in non‐volatile memory and can
only be written when the BCMs are disabled.
When PAGE COMMAND (00h) data byte is equal to (01h – 04h),
this command defines the polarity of the EN pin. If BCM_EN_
POLARITY is set, the BCM will startup once VHI is greater than the
under voltage threshold.
This command provides a convenient way to configure all the
limits, or any combination of limits described previously using one
command.
The BCM EN PIN is internally pulled-up to 3.3V. If the BCM_EN_
POLARITY is cleared, an external pull-down is then required.
Applying VHI greater than the under voltage threshold will not
suffice to start the BCM.

Unsupported bits are indicated above. A one indicates that the
supervisory fault associated with the asserted bit is disabled.
The value of these registers is set in non‐volatile memory and can
only be written when the BCMs are disabled.
This command allows the host to disable the supervisory faults
and respective statuses. It does not disable the powertrain analog
protections or warnings with respect to the set limits in the SET_
