Vicor announces bidirectional 48V/12V NBM Converter for data center and automotive applications
June 05 2018 - 3:00AM
Vicor Corporation (NASDAQ:VICR) today announced a bidirectional
non-isolated fixed-ratio converter for hybrid 48V/12V power systems
in data center and automotive applications.
The 2317 NBM is a bidirectional converter
capable of providing up to 750W continuously at 48V from 12V, or at
12V from 48V, with over 98% peak efficiency. With up to 1kW of peak
power capability (for up to 2ms) in a 23 x 17 x 7mm surface-mount
package, the NBM (NBM2317S54D1464T0R) provides a complete solution
with no external circuitry needed. By switching at 2MHz, the NBM
provides low output impedance and fast transient response to
dynamic loads. The NBM incorporates hot-swap and inrush current
limiting, increasing power system density and saving valuable board
space, time and money.
In data centers that are still relying on legacy
12V distribution, the NBM supports state-of-the-art 48V input GPUs
using Power-on-Package (“PoP”) Modular Current Multipliers (“MCMs”)
driven from a 48V node sourcing a small fraction (1/48) of the GPU
current. Current multiplication overcomes the power delivery
boundaries imposed by traditional 12V systems that limit higher
bandwidth and connectivity. In data centers that have been upgraded
to a 48V infrastructure, the NBM can be used to support legacy 12V
loads.
In mild hybrid and autonomous vehicles using
48V, the NBM supports legacy 12V subsystems from efficient power
distribution at 48V with or without dual batteries.

About Power-on-Package The Vicor PoP modules
build upon Factorized Power Architecture (FPA) systems deployed in
high-performance computers and large-scale data centers. FPA
provides efficient power distribution and direct conversion from
48V to 1V for GPUs, CPUs and ASICs demanding up to 1,000A. By
deploying current multiplication in close proximity to high-current
Artificial Intelligence (AI) processors, PoP MCMs enable higher
performance and system efficiency.

Methodology Vicor Power Component Design Methodology
enables power system designers to reap all of the benefits of
modular power component design – predictable component and system
functionality and reliability, fast design cycles, and easy system
configurability, re-configurability and scaling – while achieving
system operating efficiency, power density and economy that rival
the best alternative solutions. Utilizing Vicor Power System
Designer, engineers can select from an extensive portfolio of
proven Vicor power components to architect, optimize and simulate
their complete power system, all the way from their input sources
to their points of load. This innovative approach to power system
design delivers fast time-to-market and state-of-the-art
performance while minimizing the possibility of last minute
surprises and delays that so often occur with conventional or
custom design methodologies.Vicor, NBM and FPA are trademarks of
