BCM400y500x1K8A31
Signal Characteristics
Specifications apply over all line, load conditions, unless otherwise noted; Boldface specifications apply over the temperature range of -40°C ≤ TINTERNAL
≤ 125°C (T-Grade); All other specifications are at TINTERNAL = 25ºC unless otherwise noted.
UART SER-IN / SER-OUT Pins
• Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) pins.
• The BCM communication version is not intended to be used without a Digital Supervisor.
• Isolated I2C communication and telemetry is available when using Vicor Digital Isolator and Vicor Digital Supervisor. Please see specific product data sheet
for more details.
• UART SER-IN pin is internally pulled high using a 1.5 kΩ to 3.3 V.

Enable / Disable Control
• The EN pin is a standard analog I/O configured as an input to an internal µC.
• It is internally pulled high to 3.3 V.
• When held low the BCM internal bias will be disabled and the powertrain will be inactive.
• In an array of BCMs, EN pins should be interconnected to synchronize startup and permit startup into full load conditions.
• Enable / disable command will have no effect if the EN pin is disabled.
