BCM6123ED1E5117T00 Visão geral
A BCM (Bus Converter Module) is an isolated, fixed-ratio DC/DC converter that acts as a 'DC transformer' between a higher-voltage distribution bus (typically 384V or 400V in telecom/datacenter or 48V systems at higher power levels) and a lower-voltage intermediate bus. Within the system hierarchy, BCMs sit above isolated POL converters and below the front-end AC/DC or PFC stage, providing isolation, voltage translation, and bidirectional power flow in a factorized-power architecture.
Key features of this evaluation board include the 260-410 VDC input range, 47.5 VDC regulated output, 16.9 A continuous load current (approximately 800 W output), and Vicor's proprietary BCM control loop delivering >96% peak efficiency. The ChiP (Converter housed in Package) format eliminates discrete magnetics and integrates the SAC transformer and powertrain into a thermally efficient surface-mount module. The 'E' designator indicates an evaluation-board configuration with input/output screw terminals and test points.
The BCM6123ED1E5117T00 uses zero-voltage and zero-current switching at the SAC operating frequency, eliminating the turn-on losses of conventional hard-switched converters and enabling high switching frequencies without sacrificing efficiency. The module is bidirectional and supports parallel operation for higher-power systems. Thermal management is provided through the ChiP baseplate, which can be mounted to a cold plate or heatsink for full-power operation.
Typical applications include 380 VDC distribution in datacenter and telecom shelves, 48V intermediate bus conversion from HVDC feeds, industrial motor drives, and renewable-energy power conversion systems. Engineers select this evaluation board to characterize the BCM6123 series in their own system before committing to a production BCM6123TD1E5117T00 module.
When designing with this board, observe the high-voltage safety precautions: 380 VDC is potentially lethal. Use isolated probes and follow Vicor's BCM evaluation board user's guide for proper input fusing, inrush limiting, and output capacitor selection to match the downstream PRM (Pre-Regulator Module).

Aplicações típicas
BCM6123ED1E5117T00 é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: 380V HVDC Telecom Distribution, Datacenter 48V Intermediate Bus Conversion, Industrial Motor Drive HV DC Bus, Renewable Energy Power Conversion, Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure, Aerospace and Defense Power Systems.
380V HVDC Telecom Distribution
The BCM6123ED1E5117T00 is a natural fit for 380V HVDC distribution rails in next-generation telecom and datacom shelves where 400V three-phase PFC outputs feed a 48V intermediate bus. Its 260-410 VDC input range accommodates PFC output tolerance under load transients, and the fixed K=1/8 conversion to 47.5 VDC provides a clean intermediate rail for downstream PRM (Pre-Regulator Module) and PoL converters. The >96% efficiency keeps total system losses below the 1% budget typical for telecom power shelves, while the 16.9 A output current (~800 W) supports a single-shelf load. Factorized-power architectures using this BCM eliminate the bulk intermediate capacitors required by conventional isolated DC/DC converters.
Recomendado
Datacenter 48V Intermediate Bus Conversion
Hyperscale datacenters migrating to 48V rack-level distribution from 380V DC feeds use the BCM6123ED1E5117T00 as the bus converter between the high-voltage feed and the 48V intermediate bus. The bidirectional capability allows battery backup systems to feed power back through the BCM during grid outages, supporting UPS topologies without additional converters. Zero-voltage-switching SAC topology eliminates the high di/dt noise of hard-switched converters, reducing EMI filtering requirements in densely packed server racks. The ChiP 6123 footprint (61mm x 23mm) enables placement directly at the rack distribution panel.
Recomendado
Industrial Motor Drive HV DC Bus
Industrial motor drives with 380-400V AC input rectified to ~540V DC use intermediate bus converters to step down to 48V or 24V for control electronics, gate drivers, and auxiliary supplies. The BCM6123ED1E5117T00 evaluation board allows drive designers to characterize the BCM6123 in their system before committing to the production T-designator module. Isolation rating (4242 VDC typical for Vicor BCM) safely separates the high-voltage DC link from low-voltage control circuitry, meeting IEC 61800-5-1 requirements for adjustable-speed drives. The 16.9 A output handles auxiliary loads including fans, sensors, and control logic in multi-kW drive systems.
Recomendado
Renewable Energy Power Conversion
Solar inverters and energy storage systems with 380-400V DC link voltages use the BCM6123ED1E5117T00 to derive a 48V bus for battery management, monitoring, and communications subsystems. The fixed K=1/8 ratio provides predictable, deterministic conversion regardless of MPPT variations on the high-voltage link - a benefit over regulated converters that can oscillate under rapidly changing solar input. Bidirectional operation allows the 48V battery stack to be charged from the high-voltage DC link during sun hours and discharged back through the BCM during grid outages. The >96% efficiency minimizes conversion losses in systems where every watt of harvested energy matters.

Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
DC fast-charging stations for electric vehicles use 380V three-phase inputs that the BCM6123ED1E5117T00 can step down to 48V for auxiliary systems including cooling fans, display panels, payment terminals, and communications modules. The evaluation board enables rapid prototyping of EV supply equipment (EVSE) power architectures, where the BCM's small ChiP footprint and high efficiency reduce the overall charger size and thermal load. Bidirectional capability supports vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications where the BCM can pass power from the EV battery back through the DC link during grid demand events. The 260-410V input range covers the full operating envelope of typical three-phase rectified 400V systems.
Recomendado
Aerospace and Defense Power Systems
Military and aerospace platforms with 270V DC or 380V three-phase power systems use the BCM6123ED1E5117T00 evaluation board to characterize isolated conversion to 28V or 48V mission-critical buses. The Vicor SAC topology's lack of feedback loop simplifies EMI qualification under MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-704 environments, while the fixed ratio eliminates potential oscillation modes that could complicate upset-recovery testing. The ChiP package's mechanical robustness and -40C to +125C baseplate temperature range support the harsh environmental requirements of airborne, shipboard, and ground-vehicle applications. Vicor also offers screening and radiation-hardened variants of the BCM6123 for defense programs.

Notas de projeto
HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY: 380 VDC nominal input is above the 60V DC extra-low-voltage threshold defined in IEC 60950 and IEC 62368-1, meaning the input side is treated as hazardous voltage. Use only insulated tools, isolated oscilloscope channels (e.g., Tektronix THDP0200 or similar 100 MHz isolated probes), and follow Vicor's BCM evaluation board user's guide. Always discharge input bulk capacitors before handling the board. Estimated input bulk capacitance in this eval board is on the order of 1-2 uF, which holds lethal charge for minutes after power removal.
For production designs transitioning from the BCM6123ED1E5117T00 evaluation board to the BCM6123TD1E5117T00 production module, the PCB must include (1) sufficient copper thermal vias under the ChiP baseplate for heat transfer, (2) input fusing sized for the BCM's 16.9 A input current (~22 A fuse recommended), (3) inrush current limiting (NTC thermistor or active circuit) to manage the 380V bus's capacitor charging surge, and (4) the BCM sense-pin Kelvin connections to maintain output voltage accuracy under high load. The 6123 ChiP land pattern is defined in Vicor's VI Chip package mechanical drawing and must be followed exactly for proper soldering and thermal performance.
At full 16.9 A output (47.5 V x 16.9 A = ~803 W output) and >96% efficiency, the BCM dissipates approximately 30-35 W into the baseplate. The ChiP 6123 baseplate thermal resistance (theta_JC) is approximately 1 C/W per Vicor's mechanical datasheet, meaning the junction-to-baseplate temperature rise is around 30-35 C. Mounting the ChiP to a cold plate or heatsink rated at <0.5 C/W keeps baseplate below 100C at 25C ambient. Forced-air cooling (200 LFM) is recommended for sealed enclosures. Estimated: P_dissipated = P_out(1-eff)/eff = 803*(1-0.96)/0.96 ~= 33 W; theta_JB ~ 1 C/W; delta_T_JB ~ 33 C; baseplate ~ 58 C at 25 C ambient with adequate cold plate.
When arraying multiple BCM6123 modules in parallel for higher power (e.g., 2 boards for 1.6 kW, 4 boards for 3.2 kW), symmetric PCB layout of the +VOUT and -VOUT planes is mandatory to achieve proper current sharing. Mismatch in output impedance greater than 5% causes one module to carry disproportionate current and limits total system power below the theoretical N*16.9 A. Vicor recommends keeping output plane length/width identical between parallel modules and using Kelvin sense resistors at each module's output terminals rather than at the load. The eval board's screw-terminal output simplifies initial lab characterization before committing to a PCB layout for production.
