The Solution Working with our applications engineering team it became clear that a move to a high voltage DC distribution (HVDC) architecture would enable the team’s objectives to be met. The panels were powered from an AC front-end, providing 380V DC, which was bussed to individual display panels mounted remotely. On each panel a BCM High Voltage Bus Converter Module transformed the 380V bus directly to 48V, two ZVS Buck Regulators converted the 48V directly to 12V and 5V for the display drivers, removing a conversion stage. The Customer's Challenge A manufacturer of video display walls wanted to expand the size of their current display to operate reliably over additional buildings, while improving the color fid
