VI BRICK BCM modules use advanced Sine Amplitude Converter
TM
(SAC
TM
) technology,
thermally enhanced packaging technologies, and advanced CIM processes to provide high
power density and efficiency, superior transient response, and improved thermal
management. These modules can be used to provide an isolated intermediate bus to power
non-isolated POL converters and due to the fast response time and low noise of the BCM,
capacitance can be reduced or eliminated near the load.
