The NBM provides bidirectional 48V to 12V conversion with 98% peak efficiency at 750W continuous and 1kW peak power in a package less than 3.3cm3. Switching at 1.7MHz, the NBM takes up a fraction of the space consumed by slow switching (sub 1MHz) solutions requiring a large multiplicity of discrete components. The NBM responds to transient loads quickly (1 microsecond) while maintaining its output within a narrow voltage band. 

A complete power solution, the NBM delivers voltage essentially free of noise without requiring external filters, bulk caps, hot swap or in-rush current limiting.

Artificial Intelligence is driving rapid change in data centers and high-performance computing. Increased processor speeds are required to support AI Machine Learning, driving commensurate increases in the power required by XPUs.

While GPU-enabled computing systems use 48V for increased power capability and total system efficiency, many systems still rely on legacy 12V infrastructure and 12V loads. The NBM enables migration from 12V to 48V systems.

Energy storage and power distribution within vehicles is migrating to 48V to supply high power demands and reduce distribution wiring weight. NBMs convert power from a single battery through 48V distribution providing 12V to remote legacy loads where needed.
