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.

Announced today and existing:

Table 1 – Item in green is a newly released product.

The PI352x family addresses the growing need for 48V direct-to-PoL solutions in many applications including lighting, communications, automotive equipment, and datacenter applications. The Cool-Power ZVS Regulators are focused on high power density and high efficiency while delivering ease of use. The end result is first pass design success with best-in-class performance.
