Product Description  
Integrated filtering  
The BCM4414xG0F4440yzz in a VIA package is a high efficiency  
Bus Converter, operating from a 400 to 700VDC high voltage bus  
to deliver an isolated 25 to 43.8VDC unregulated, low voltage.  
Parallel operation for multi-kW arrays  
OV, OC, UV, short circuit and thermal protection  
4414 package  
This unique ultra-low profile module incorporates DC-DC  
conversion, integrated filtering and PMBus™ commands and  
controls in a chassis or PCB mount form factor.  
High MTBF  
Thermally enhanced VIA package  
PMBus™ management interface  
Bidirectional operation (start up in forward direction only)  
The BCM offers low noise, fast transient response and industry  
leading efficiency and power density. A low voltage side  
referenced PMBus compatible telemetry and control interface  
provides access to the BCM’s configuration, fault monitoring, and  
other telemetry functions.  
Typical Applications  
Leveraging the thermal and density benefits of Vicor’s VIA  
packaging technology, the BCM module offers flexible thermal  
management options with very low top and bottom side  
thermal impedances.  
High Voltage DC Power Distribution  
3 Phase AC-DC Converters  
Information and Communication  
Technology (ICT) Equipment  
When combined with downstream Vicor DC-DC conversion  
components and regulators, the BCM allows the Power Design  
Engineer to employ a simple, low-profile design, which will  
differentiate the end system without compromising on cost or  
performance metrics.

Signal Characteristics  
Specifications apply over all line and load conditions, unless otherwise noted; boldface specifications apply over the temperature range of  
–40°C TCASE 100°C (T-Grade); all other specifications are at TCASE = 25ºC unless otherwise noted. Please note: For chassis mount model, Vicor part  
number 42550 will be needed for applications requiring the use of the signal pins. Signal cable 42550 is rated up to five insertions and extractions.  
To avoid unnecessary stress on the connector, the cable should be appropriately strain relieved.  
EXT. BIAS (VDDB) Pin  
• VDDB powers the internal controller.  
• VDDB needs to be applied to enable and disable the BCM through PMBus™ control (using OPERATION COMMAND), and to adjust warning and  
protection thresholds.  
• VDDB voltage not required for telemetry; however, if VDDB is not applied, telemetry information will be lost when VIN is removed.

Figure 19 — BCM DC model (Forward Direction)  
The BCM uses a high frequency resonant tank to move energy  
from the high voltage side to the low voltage side and vice versa.  
The resonant LC tank, operated at high frequency, is amplitude  
modulated as a function of the HI side voltage and the LO side  
current. A small amount of capacitance embedded in the high  
voltage side and low voltage side stages of the module is sufficient  
for full functionality and is key to achieving high power density.  
The effective DC voltage transformer action provides additional  
interesting attributes. Assuming that RLO = 0Ω and IHI_Q = 0A,  
Equation 3 now becomes Equation 1 and is essentially load  
independent, resistor R is now placed in series with VHI.  
R

shown in Figure 19.

At no load:

K represents the “turns ratio” of the BCM.  
Rearranging Eq (1):

In the presence of a load, VLO is represented by:  
Substituting the simplified version of Equation 4  
(IHI_Q is assumed = 0A) into Equation 5 yields:  
VLO = VHI • K – ILO • RLO  
(3)  
VLO = VHI • K – ILO • R • K2  
(6)  
and ILO is represented by:  
This is similar in form to Equation 3, where RLO is used to represent  
the characteristic impedance of the BCM. However, in this case a  
real resistor, R, on the high voltage side of the BCM is effectively  
scaled by K2 with respect to the low voltage side.  
IHI – IHI_Q

RLO represents the impedance of the BCM and is a function of the  
RDS_ON of the HI side and LO side MOSFETs, PC board resistance of  
HI side and LO side boards and the winding resistance of the power  
transformer. IHI_Q represents the HI side quiescent current of the  
BCM controller, gate drive circuitry and core losses.  
Assuming that R = 1Ω, the effective R as seen from the low voltage  
side is 3.9mΩ, with K = 1/16.

BCM4414xG0F4440yzz  
A similar exercise can be performed with the addition of a  
capacitor or shunt impedance at the high voltage side of the  
BCM. A switch in series with VHI is added to the circuit. This is  
depicted in Figure 21.  
Low impedance is a key requirement for powering a high-current,  
low-voltage load efficiently. A switching regulation stage  
should have minimal impedance while simultaneously providing  
appropriate filtering for any switched current. The use of a BCM  
between the regulation stage and the point of load provides a  
dual benefit of scaling down series impedance leading back to  
the source and scaling up shunt capacitance or energy storage  
as a function of its K factor squared. However, these benefits are  
not achieved if the series impedance of the BCM is too high. The  
impedance of the BCM must be low, i.e., well beyond the crossover  
frequency of the system.

A solution for keeping the impedance of the BCM low involves  
switching at a high frequency. This enables the use of small  
magnetic components because magnetizing currents remain low.  
Small magnetics mean small path lengths for turns. Use of low loss  
core material at high frequencies also reduces core losses.  
Figure 21 — BCM with HI side capacitor  
The two main terms of power loss in the BCM module are:  
A change in VHI with the switch closed would result in a change in  
capacitor current according to the following equation:  
nNo load power dissipation (PHI_NL): defined as the power  
used to power up the module with an enabled powertrain  
at no load.  
dVHI  
nResistive loss (PRLO): refers to the power loss across  
the BCM module modeled as pure resistive impedance.  
IC (t) = C  
(7)

Assume that with the capacitor charged to VHI, the switch is  
opened and the capacitor is discharged through the idealized  
BCM. In this case,  
PDISSIPATED = PHI_NL + PR  
(10)  
LO  
Therefore,  
IC = ILO • K  
(8)  
PLO_OUT = PHI_IN – PDISSIPATED = PHI_IN – PHI_NL – PR

substituting Equation 1 and 8 into Equation 7 reveals:  
The above relations can be combined to calculate the overall

The equation in terms of the LO side has yielded a K2 scaling factor  
for C, specified in the denominator of the equation.  
A K factor less than unity results in an effectively larger capacitance  
on the low voltage side when expressed in terms of the high  
voltage side. With K = 1/16 as shown in Figure 21, C = 1µF would

Thermal Considerations  
The VIA package provides effective conduction cooling from either  
of the two module surfaces. Heat may be removed from the top  
surface, the bottom surface or both. The extent to which these  
two surfaces are cooled is a key component for determining the  
maximum power that can be processed by a VIA, as can be seen  
from the specified thermal operating area in Figure 1. Since the  
VIA has a maximum internal temperature rating, it is necessary to  
estimate this temperature based on a system-level thermal solution.  
For this purpose, it is helpful to simplify the thermal solution into  
a roughly equivalent circuit where power dissipation is modeled as  
a current source, isothermal surface temperatures are represented  
as voltage sources and the thermal resistances are represented as  
resistors. Figure 22 shows the “thermal circuit” for the VIA module.

Double side cooling: while this option might bring limited  
advantage to the module internal components (given the  
surface-to-surface coupling provided), it might be appealing  
in cases where the external thermal system requires allocating  
power to two different elements, such as heatsinks with  
independent airflows or a combination of chassis/air cooling.

The performance of the BCM is based on efficient transfer  
of energy through a transformer without the need of closed  
loop control. For this reason, the transfer characteristic can be  
approximated by an ideal transformer with a positive temperature  
coefficient series resistance.

Figure 22 — Double-sided cooling VIA thermal model  
This type of characteristic is close to the impedance characteristic  
of a DC power distribution system both in dynamic (AC) behavior  
and for steady state (DC) operation.  
In this case, the internal power dissipation is PDISS, θINT_TOP and

INT_BOT are the thermal resistance characteristics of the VIA module  
and the top and bottom surface temperatures are represented as  
TC_TOP and TC_BOT. It is interesting to note that the package itself  
provides a high degree of thermal coupling between the top and  
bottom case surfaces (represented in the model by the resistor  
When multiple BCM modules of a given part number are  
connected in an array, they will inherently share the load current  
according to the equivalent impedance divider that the system  
implements from the power source to the point of load. Ensuring  
equal current sharing among modules requires that BCM array  
impedances be matched.

thermal designs:  
nSingle side cooling: the model of Figure 22 can be simplified by  
calculating the parallel resistor network and using one simple  
thermal resistance number and the internal power dissipation  
curves; an example for bottom side cooling only is shown in  
Figure 23.  
Some general recommendations to achieve matched array  
impedances include:  
nDedicate common copper planes/wires within the PCB/Chassis  
to deliver and return the current to the modules.  
nProvide as symmetric a PCB/Wiring layout as possible  
In this case, θINT can be derived as follows:

Fuse Selection  
In order to provide flexibility in configuring power systems, BCM in  
a VIA package modules are not internally fused. Input line fusing  
of BCM products is recommended at the system level to provide  
thermal protection in case of catastrophic failure.

The fuse shall be selected by closely matching system  
requirements with the following characteristics:

Reverse Operation  
RI  
BCM modules are capable of reverse power operation. Once the  
unit is started, energy will be transferred from the low voltage  
side back to the high voltage side whenever the low side voltage  
exceeds VHI • K. The module will continue operation in this fashion  
as long as no faults occur.  
FI  
BI  
PE  
The BCM4414xG0F4440yzz has not been qualified for continuous  
operation in a reverse power condition. However, fault protections  
that help to protect the module in forward operation will also  
protect the module in reverse operation.  
Figure 26 — BCM in a VIA package after final assembly  
Transient operation in reverse is expected in cases where there is  
significant energy storage on the low voltage side and transient  
voltages appear on the high voltage side.

Filtering  
The BCM in a VIA package has built-in single stage EMI filtering  
located on the high voltage side. The integrated EMI filtering  
consists of a common mode choke and differential mode  
capacitors. However, it does not include Y2 capacitors for  
common mode filtering. Y2 common mode capacitors can be  
added externally on the high voltage side between +HI and PE  
(Case), and –HI and PE (Case) to meet certain EMI requirements.  
A typical test set-up block diagram for conducted emissions is  
shown in Figure 27.

The integrated filtering reduces the voltage ripple on the high  
voltage side. External LO side filtering can be added as needed,  
with ceramic capacitance used as a LO side bypass for this purpose.  
VIA HI side and LO side voltage ranges shall not be exceeded. An  
internal overvoltage function prevents operation outside of the  
normal operating HI side range. However, the VIA is exposed to  
the applied voltage even when disabled, and must withstand it.  
External transient protection circuitry may be required to protect  
the VIA from overvoltage transients imposed by a system that  
would exceed maximum ratings.  
Figure 27 — Typical test set up block diagram for  
Conducted Emissions  
The source response is generally the limiting factor in the  
overall system response, given the wide bandwidth of the BCM.  
Anomalies in the response of the source will appear at the LO side  
of the module multiplied by its K factor.  
Total load capacitance at the LO side of the BCM shall not exceed  
the specified maximum to ensure correct operation in start up.  
Due to the wide bandwidth and small LO side impedance of the  
BCM, low frequency bypass capacitance and significant energy  
storage may be more densely and efficiently provided by adding  
capacitance at the HI side of the BCM.  
At frequencies less than 500kHz, the BCM appears as an  
impedance of RLO between the source and load. Within this  
frequency range, capacitance connected at the HI side appears as  
an effective scaled capacitance on the LO side per the relationship  
defined in Equation 14.

The controller of the BCM in a VIA package is referenced to the low voltage side signal ground (SGND).  
The BCM in a VIA package provides the Host PMBus system with accurate telemetry monitoring and reporting, threshold and  
warning limits adjustment, in addition to corresponding status flags. The standalone BCM is periodically polled for status by the host  
PMBus. Direct communication to the BCM is enabled by a page command. For example, the page (0x00) prior to a telemetry inquiry  
points to the controller data and page (0x01) prior to a telemetry inquiry points to the BCM parameters.  
The BCM enables the PMBus compatible host interface with an operating bus speed of up to 400kHz. The BCM follows the PMBus  
command structure and specification.

The Host always initiates PMBus™ communication with a START bit. All messages are terminated by the Host with a STOP bit. In a write  
message, the master sends the slave device address followed by a write bit. Once the slave acknowledges, the master proceeds with the  
command code and then similarly the data byte.

CLEAR_FAULTS Command (03h)  
OT_FAULT_LIMIT Command (4Fh),  
OT_WARN_ LIMIT Command (51h),  
This command clears all status bits that have been previously set.  
Persistent or active faults are re-asserted again once cleared. All  
faults are latched once asserted in the BCM controller. Registered  
faults will not be cleared when shutting down the BCM  
powertrain by recycling the BCM high side voltage or sending  
the OPERATION command.  
VIN_OV_FAULT_ LIMIT Command (55h),  
VIN_OV_WARN_ LIMIT Command (57h),  
IIN_OC_FAULT_ LIMIT Command (5Bh),  
IIN_OC_WARN_ LIMIT Command (5Dh)  
The values of these registers are set in non-volatile memory and  
can only be written when the BCM is disabled.  
CAPABILITY Command (19h)  
The values of the above mentioned faults and warnings are set by  
default to 100% of the respective BCM model supervisory limits.  
However, these limits can be set to a lower value. For example: In  
order for a limit percentage to be set to 80%, one would send a  
write command with a (50h) Data Word.  
Packet Error Checking is not supported  
Maximum supported bus speed is 400kHz  
The Device does not have SMBALERT# pin and does  
not support the SMBus Alert Response protocol  
Any values outside the range of (00h – 64h) sent by a host will be  
rejected, will not override the currently stored value and will set the  
Unsupported Data bit in STATUS_CML.  
Reserved  
The SET_ALL_THRESHOLDS COMMAND (D5h) combines in one  
block overtemperature fault and warning limits, VHI overvoltage  
fault and warning limits as well as ILO overcurrent fault and warning  
limits. A delay prior to a read command of up to 200ms following a  
write of new value is required.

The VIN_UV_WARN_LIMIT (58h) and VIN_UV_FAULT_LIMIT  
(59h) are set by the factory and cannot be changed by the host.  
However, a host can disable the undervoltage setting using the  
DISABLE_FAULT COMMAND (D7h).  
The BCM controller returns a default value of 20h. This value  
indicates that the PMBus™ frequency supported is up to 400kHz  
and that both Packet Error Checking (PEC) and SMBALERT# are  
not supported.  
All FAULT_RESPONSE commands are unsupported. The BCM  
powertrain supervisory limits and powertrain protection will behave  
as described in the Electrical Specifications. In general, once a fault  
is detected, the BCM powertrain will shut down and attempt to  
auto-restart after a predetermined delay.  
TON_DELAY Command (60h)  
The value of this register word is set in non-volatile memory and  
can only be written when the BCM is disabled.  
The maximum possible delay is 100ms. Default value is set  
to (00h). The reported value can be interpreted using the  
following equation.  
TON_DELAYACTUAL = tREPORTED • 10-3(s)  
Staggering start up in an array is possible with the TON_DELAY  
Command. This delay will be in addition to any start up delay  
inherent in the BCM module. For example: start up delay from  
application of VHI is typically 20ms. When TON_DELAY is greater  
than zero, the set delay will be added to it.

All fault or warning flags, if set, will remain asserted until  
cleared by the host or once the BCM and VDDB power is  
removed. This includes undervoltage fault, overvoltage fault,  
overvoltage warning, overcurrent warning, overtemperature  
fault, overtemperature warning, undertemperature fault, reverse  
operation, communication faults and analog controller  
shutdown fault.  
If the BCM controller is powered through VDDB, it will retain the  
last telemetry data and this information will be available to the user  
via a PMBus Status request. This is in agreement with the PMBus  
standard, which requires that status bits remain set until specifically  
cleared. Note that in the case where the BCM VHI is lost, the status  
will always indicate an undervoltage fault, in addition to any other  
fault that occurred.  
Asserted status bits in all status registers, with the exception of  
STATUS_WORD and STATUS_BYTE, can be individually cleared.  
This is done by sending a data byte with one in the bit position

STATUS_IOUT (7Bh)  
The POWER_GOOD# bit reflects the state of the device and does  
not reflect the state of the POWER_GOOD# signal limits. The  
POWER_GOOD_ON COMMAND (5Eh) and POWER_GOOD_OFF  
COMMAND (5Fh) are not supported. The POWER_GOOD# bit is  
set, when the BCM is not in the active state, to indicate that the  
powertrain is inactive and not switching. The POWER_GOOD#  
bit is cleared, when the BCM is in the active state, 5ms after the  
powertrain is activated allowing for soft start to elapse.  
POWER_GOOD# and OFF bits cannot be cleared as they always  
reflect the current state of the device.
