Vicor Extends 48V Cool-Power ZVS Buck Regulators Family

Vicor has extended the Cool-Power 48V ZVS 20A Buck Regulator portfolio by releasing the PI3523-00-LGIZ (PI3523). The PI352x family offers 20A solutions complementing the previously released 10A 48V_IN PI354x family, enabling scalable power options for 48V direct to point-of-load (PoL) applications.  The PI3523 is a 48V_IN, 3.3V_OUT nominal Buck Regulator capable of supplying up to 22A. This family of regulators enables 48V_IN to 20A point-of-load voltages spanning 2.2V_OUT – 14V_OUT.

Compact Size Delivering Twice the Power

Offering all the same industry-leading features of Vicor’s existing 48V Cool-Power ZVS Buck Regulators, the PI352x portfolio extends performance by delivering twice the power of the PI354x regulators using only a 40% larger package. The PI3523 requires only an output inductor and minimal passives for a complete cost-effective design that consumes less than 740 mm² of PCB space.  Designed to be easily paralleled in combinations of up to three regulators, the PI352x regulators can be scaled to support higher current loads.
