Vicor Corporation announced the PI354x-00-BGIZ, the latest addition to the 48V Cool-Power ZVS Buck Regulator portfolio, offering a new BGA package option to the existing PI354x-00-LGIZ LGA series.

PI354x Cool-Power ZVS Buck Regulator’s high-performance ZVS topology enables 48V direct to PoL without sacrificing performance.  With step-down regulation from a higher voltage source, engineers can deploy more efficient power distribution architectures, reduce I²R losses, and eliminate costly and inefficient intermediate conversion stages.

Operating from 36V_IN to 60V_IN, the PI354x regulates an output voltage ranging from 2.2V to 14V and delivers an output current delivery up to 10A.  Power delivery can be further increased by using single wire current sharing without any additional components.

The PI354x series is designed for a wide range of applications leveraging higher voltage distribution, including telecom, network infrastructure, data centers, industrial, battery, and lighting applications.

When used in conjunction with the Vicor front-end products and factorized power products, the PI354x series enables a complete power chain from AC or HVDC (200V+) source to PoL.  The PI354x series expands and enhances the Vicor Power Component Design Methodology.
