Vicor PI3526-00-LGIZ Cool-Power ZVS buck regulator

The PI3526-00-LGIZ is the latest addition to Vicor’s Cool-Power ZVS buck regulator portfolio with a 48 V (30–60 Vin) input. The PI352x is a higher current offering to the existing PI354x portfolio, enabling scalable power options for 48 V Direct to Point of Load (PoL) applications. The PI3526-00-LGIZ is a 12 V output regulator, supplying up to 18 A, packaged in a 10 x 14 mm LGA SiP package.

The PI352x portfolio delivers twice the power of the PI354x regulators in a 40% larger package. PI3526-00-LGIZ requires only an output inductor and minimal passives for a design that consumes less than 740 mm² of PCB real estate. Designed to be easily paralleled in combinations of up to three regulators, the product can be scaled to support applications with even higher load currents.

The range addresses the growing need for 48 V Direct to PoL solutions in lighting, communications, automotive equipment and data centre applications. The regulators are focused on high power density and high efficiency while being simple to use.
