Factorized Power
Factorized Power Architecture
Factorized Power Architecture maximizes a power system by providing a high degree of system flexibility, superior power density, efficiency, transient response, and reliability. This new architecture is enabled by V•I Chip™ components: the BCM™ intermediate bus converter, the PRM™ non-isolated regulator, and the VTM™ current multiplier. These families of integrated power components provide new ways to create small, cost-effective, high-performance power system solutions.
