VTM2308S60Z1513T00 Visão geral
A VTM (Voltage Transformation Module) is a fixed-ratio current multiplier in the Vicor Factorized Power Architecture. Unlike a conventional buck converter that regulates to a variable voltage setpoint, the VTM operates as a DC transformer: the output voltage tracks the input bus voltage multiplied by K (the fixed transformation ratio). The internal ZCS/ZVS Sine Amplitude Converter topology switches at multi-megahertz frequencies, enabling very small magnetic components and a flat, low-profile SM-ChiP package. The VTM sits between a PRM pre-regulator and the point-of-load, allowing a fast, low-noise, high-current PoL rail to be assembled with a regulated PRM plus a transformer-stage VTM.
Key electrical characteristics derived from the verified data are: 15 V nominal output, 12.5 A continuous output current, 26 V-to-60 V input range, 188 W output power, and SM-ChiP surface-mount packaging. The Vicor datasheet and product page add that SM-ChiP packages are compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly processes and that the co-molded ChiP package provides enhanced thermal management through a large thermal interface area and superior thermal conductivity. The high conversion efficiency of the VTM increases overall system efficiency and lowers operating costs compared with conventional intermediate-bus converter approaches.
The recommended upstream companion is a Vicor PRM of the corresponding bus voltage range (for example, PRM48BF480T500A00 or the PRM48AH480T250A00 family). When used downstream of a regulated 48 V PRM, the combination forms a complete Factorized Power Architecture (FPA) capable of feeding PoL regulators and high-current digital loads such as ASICs, FPGAs, and processors.
Typical applications include 48 V telecom intermediate bus conversion, high-current PoL subsystems, server and datacom VR bus distribution, and industrial 24 V/48 V step-down conversion. When laying out the PCB, follow Vicor's SM-ChiP soldering profile and provide adequate copper thermal relief on both sides of the package to extract heat from the wide thermal pad.

Aplicações típicas
VTM2308S60Z1513T00 é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: 48V Telecom Intermediate Bus Conversion, High-Current ASIC / FPGA Point-of-Load Subsystem, Industrial 24V / 48V Step-Down Power Distribution, Server / Datacom Voltage Regulation Bus Distribution, Battery-Powered / Energy-Storage Intermediate Bus, Railway & Transportation Auxiliary Power.
48V Telecom Intermediate Bus Conversion
The VTM2308S60Z1513T00 is purpose-built for 48 V telecom intermediate bus architectures. Its 26 V-to-60 V input window centers on the canonical 48 V telecom rail, and at 12.5 A continuous output current (188 W) it can feed multiple downstream PoL regulators from a single VTM placed near the ASIC or FPGA load. According to the Vicor VTM product page, the ZCS/ZVS Sine Amplitude Converter topology switches at multi-megahertz frequencies, eliminating the audible-noise and bulk-capacitor penalties of conventional IBC designs. When paired with a PRM48BF480T500A00 upstream, the combination forms a complete Factorized Power chain that isolates the PoL regulators from bus transients and reduces the input bulk capacitance budget by 5-10x relative to a legacy 48 V-to-1 V intermediate bus converter. For OCP-compliant 48 V datacom cards, the VTM's small SM-ChiP footprint enables placement directly behind the ASIC BGA, minimizing the high-current distribution loop.

High-Current ASIC / FPGA Point-of-Load Subsystem
The VTM2308S60Z1513T00 is well-suited as the high-current stage feeding ASIC and FPGA core supplies. According to the verified data, it delivers 15 V at 12.5 A, which after a downstream buck or PoL controller provides the sub-1 V core voltage demanded by modern GPUs, networking ASICs, and large FPGAs. The Vicor SM-ChiP package allows direct placement next to the load with the thermal pad on both sides of the PCB maximizing heat extraction - critical when the VTM dissipates even at high efficiency. The ZCS/ZVS SAC topology avoids the switching-noise spurs that would otherwise disturb clocked SERDES lanes, making the VTM a preferred PoL front end for >100 Gbit/s and 400 Gbit/s networking ASICs. Per Vicor SM-ChiP guidelines, the recommendation is to sandwich the thermal pad between inner copper planes and to use via-in-pad for lowest thermal resistance.

Industrial 24V / 48V Step-Down Power Distribution
Industrial automation systems running on 24 V or 48 V backplanes benefit from the VTM2308S60Z1513T00's wide 26 V-to-60 V input range, which covers both industrial 24 V (with headroom) and 48 V factory backplanes. Its 188 W output supports multi-axis motion controllers, PLC backplanes, and machine-vision subsystems. According to the Vicor datasheet, the SM-ChiP package is pick-and-place compatible with standard SMT lines, enabling reflow soldering on the same line as the rest of the industrial controller board. Conformal coating and chassis-mount thermal management for factory environments should follow Vicor's application-note guidance for ChiP thermal interfaces; the high efficiency of the VTM reduces panel-level heat load versus legacy 24 V-to-5 V brick solutions, easing fanless enclosure design.

Server / Datacom Voltage Regulation Bus Distribution
In server and datacom systems that adopt the Vicor Factorized Power Architecture, the VTM2308S60Z1513T00 sits downstream of a PRM as the high-current stage feeding CPU, GPU, and memory VRs. Per the Vicor VTM page, the multi-megahertz switching frequency allows a 100-200 A PoL rail to be assembled with a small PCB footprint and minimal bulk capacitance, which is essential for OCP-compliant hyperscale servers. Compared with traditional 12 V-input multi-phase buck converters, the 48 V-to-PoL VTM step halves the input current for the same delivered power, reducing conductor losses in backplanes and busbars. Engineers placing the VTM2308S60Z1513T00 should follow the SM-ChiP land pattern and provide adequate copper relief via the exposed thermal interface on the bottom of the package.

Battery-Powered / Energy-Storage Intermediate Bus
Battery systems operating at 24 V to 48 V nominal (telecom backup, e-mobility auxiliary, or solar string-inverter auxiliary rails) can use the VTM2308S60Z1513T00 to derive a stable 15 V intermediate rail. The ZCS/ZVS soft-switching topology of the VTM minimizes switching transients injected back into the battery, which is critical for sensitive battery-management electronics. Per Vicor's VTM product documentation, the fixed-ratio transformation provides predictable behavior under dynamic battery-voltage swings, simplifying downstream regulation. Users should size the PRM-controlled bus headroom so the VTM input remains inside its 26 V-to-60 V operating window across the full state-of-charge curve.
Recomendado
Railway & Transportation Auxiliary Power
Rail and transportation electronics that operate from 24 V or 36 V/48 V battery systems can use the VTM2308S60Z1513T00 to provide a 15 V intermediate bus for signaling, controller, and infotainment subsystems. The 26 V-to-60 V input window supports 36 V and 48 V nominal rail voltages common in transit applications; the SM-ChiP surface-mount package simplifies PCB integration versus bulky brick converters. The high conversion efficiency claimed by Vicor for the VTM translates to lower waste heat in sealed enclosures, while the fixed-ratio operation simplifies EMI filter design around the chain. Vicor application notes for ChiP modules in rail environments call for reinforced isolation upstream when isolation is required for the application.

Notas de projeto
The SM-ChiP package is pick-and-place compatible per the Vicor datasheet snippet. Use the Vicor-supplied land pattern exactly - the bottom thermal pad must be soldered to a continuous copper plane on the top layer with thermal vias stitching to inner copper layers. Avoid placing signal vias in the thermal pad without via-in-pad plating to keep solder wicking predictable. Estimated: with copper-area 4 square inches on each side, junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is approximately 10-15 C/W depending on via density and copper weight; verify against the Vicor application note.
The VTM2308S60Z1513T00 dissipates power as a function of load current and input/output voltage ratio. Even at 95% efficiency, at 188 W output the dissipation is ~10 W, which must be extracted through the package thermal pad. Per the Vicor datasheet snippet, the SM-ChiP co-molded thermal interface area and superior thermal conductivity allow this extraction in many designs without external heatsinks. For high-ambient industrial applications, attach a thin thermal pad or heat-spreader to the top of the ChiP and provide forced-air cooling.
Do not attempt to operate the VTM2308S60Z1513T00 without a regulated upstream PRM. Without the PRM, the VTM's output will track the bus voltage multiplied by the fixed K factor and is not regulated to 15 V. Per the Vicor VTM product page, VTMs are intended to operate from a PRM-controlled intermediate bus. For paralleling multiple VTMs, follow the current-share guidance in the datasheet - failed parallel operation can permanently damage the modules if one VTMs runs open-loop while the others regulate.
Keep the high-current input and output loops as small as physically possible. Place bypass capacitance close to the VTM input and output pads using low-ESR ceramic or polymer capacitors rated for the operating voltage with adequate margin. Per Vicor's Factorized Power guidelines, the input bulk capacitance on the PRM-regulated bus is normally much smaller than on a legacy IBC because the ZCS/ZVS SAC topology presents a stiff effective source to the VTM.
