The 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 36VIN to 60VIN, the PI354x regulates an output voltage ranging from 2.2-14V 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 centres, industrial, battery, and lighting applications.
When used in conjunction with the Vicor front-end products and factorised 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.
