Today we announced new ZVS Buck Regulators designed for applications including lighting, communications, automotive equipment, and datacenter. The PI352x family addresses the growing need for 48V Direct to Point of Load (PoL) solutions, and delivers higher output currents, while retaining the high power density, high efficiency and ease of use of Vicor’s ZVS Buck Regulator family.
Offering all the same industry-leading functionality of the existing 48V Cool-Power ZVS Buck Regulators, the PI352x portfolio extends the performance of Vicor’s 48V buck regulator family. The PI3526-00-LGIZ requires only an output inductor and minimal passive components for a complete cost effective design that requires less than 740mm2 of PCB real estate.
The PI3526-00-LGIZ has a 48V (30-60Vin) input and a 12V regulated output that delivers up to 18A, in a compact 10 x 14mm LGA SiP package. For higher power requirements, the new ZVS Buck Regulators are designed to be easily paralleled in combinations of up to three regulators.
The combination of high performance and ease of use enables first-pass design success with best in class performance.
