Battery backup unit (BBU)

Block diagram

Overview

Our integrated circuits and reference designs help you create high efficiency, high power density AC/DC and DC/DC battery backup units (BBUs) for various server power supply units (PSU), telecom PSU and industrial applications.

Design requirements

Modern BBUs often require:

  • Fast charging to backup mode transition.
  • High power density to pack more power in less space.
  • High efficiency to extend battery backup time.
