Vicor has announced new user-configurability capabilities for its high-performance VI Chip PRM modules. The new PowerBench tool suite equips designers to customise and simulate efficient PRM modules for use as PoL (point-of-load) buck-boost regulators or to drive VTM current multipliers and meet a broad range of PoL power requirements.
Incorporating Vicor’s high-frequency ZVS buck-boost technology, customer-configurable VI Chip PRM modules can deliver up to 500 W at over 97% efficiency, at power densities of up to 103 W/cm³. Models are available in both full-chip and half-chip packages with input voltage ranges of both 36 - 75 V and 38 - 55 V and, when used as a PoL buck-boost regulator, provide a user-defined output between 26 V and 52 V. When used with VI Chip VTM current multiplier modules, PRMs efficiently support output voltages from 0,5 V to 55 V d.c.
The easy to use PowerBench tool gives designers the flexibility to specify the voltage, current and protection parameters of their PRM module and immediately simulate their models in application-specific operating conditions. Data sheets, part numbers and pricing information are provided for designers’ uniquely configured devices.
