Look for hyphenated suffix pattern: `-[PACKAGE][IZ]?$` 2. Map package codes: - `LG` or `LGIZ` -> `LGA` - `QG` or `QGIZ` -> `QFN` - `BG` -> `BGA` 3. If no hyphen found, return empty (no package suffix) ### Power Modules (DCM, BCM, PRM, VTM, NBM) 1. Look for suffix pattern at end of MPN 2. First character of suffix indicates package family: - `T` -> `ChiP` - `S` -> `SiP` - `A` -> `ChiP-A` - `M` -> `MCM` 3. Default to `ChiP` for power modules without clear suffix --- ## Replacement Logic The handler's `isOfficialReplacement()` method uses these rules: 1. **Same series required**: Parts must be from the same product family (DCM, BCM, etc.) 2. **Power modules**: Compare core specification (voltage/current configuration) - DCM/NBM: First 4 digits after prefix (e.g., `DCM3623` core spec is `3623`) - BCM/PRM/VTM: Voltage + suffix + rating (e.g., `48BT120`) 3. **PI series**: Compare base part number (everything before first hyphen) - `PI3301-00-LGIZ` base is `PI3301` - Same base = compatible (may differ in package/options) --- ## Pattern Reference ### Regex Patterns from Handler | Series | Pattern | Example Match | |--------|---------|---------------| | DCM | `^DCM[0-9]{4}[A-Z0-9]+$` | DCM3623T50D40A4T | | BCM | `^BCM[0-9]{2,3}[A-Z]{2}[0-9]+[A-Z0-9]*$` | BCM48BT120T300A00 | | PRM | `^PRM[0-9]{2}[A-Z]{2}[0-9]+[A-Z0-9]*$` | PRM48BH480T200A00 | | VTM | `^VTM[0-9]{2}[A-Z]{2}[0-9]+[A-Z0-9]*$` | VTM48EH040T025A00 | | NBM | `^NBM[0-9]{4}[A-Z][0-9]+[A-Z0-9]*$` | NBM2317S54E1560T00 | | PI33xx | `^PI33[0-9]{2}(-[A-Z0-9]+)*$` | PI3301-00-LGIZ | | PI35xx | `^PI35[0-9]{2}(-[A-Z0-9]+)*$` | PI3523-00-LGIZ | --- ## Common MPN Examples ### DC-DC Converter Modules (DCM) | MPN | Input | Output | Notes | |-----|-------|--------|-------| | DCM3623T50D40A4T | 36V-75V | 40V | Isolated DC-DC | | DCM3714T40D40A4T | 36V-75V | 40V | Different config | ### Bus Converter Modules (BCM) | MPN | Input | Notes | |-----|-------|-------| | BCM48BT120T300A00 | 48V | 1/4 ratio bus converter | | BCM384BT120T300A00 | 384V | High voltage input | ### ZVS Regulators (PI Series) | MPN | Series | Package | Notes | |-----|--------|---------|-------| | PI3301-00-LGIZ | PI33xx | LGA | ZVS Buck, industrial | | PI3523-00-LGIZ | PI35xx | LGA | Cool-Power ZVS | | PI3523-00-QGIZ | PI35xx | QFN | Same part, QFN package | --- ## Related Files - Handler: `manufacturers/VicorHandler.java` - Component types: `VOLTAGE_REGULATOR`, `IC` --- ## Learnings & Edge Cases - **ChiP package default**: Power modules without a clear package indicator default to `ChiP` (Converter housed in Package), Vicor's signature dense power module package - **BCM voltage range**: BCM modules support input voltages from 2-3 digits (48V to 384V), reflected in the pattern `BCM[0-9]{2,3}` - **PI series hyphenation**: PI series MPNs can have multiple hyphen-separated segments (e.g., `PI3301-00-LGIZ`), handled by `(-[A-Z0-9]+)*` pattern - **No manufacturer-specific ComponentTypes**: Unlike handlers for TI or STM, VicorHandler uses only generic types (`VOLTAGE_REGULATOR`, `IC`), not Vicor-specific types like `VOLTAGE_REGULATOR_VICOR` - **Core spec extraction complexity**: Different product families have different core specification formats: - DCM/NBM: 4 digits after prefix - BCM/PRM/VTM: voltage + 2 letters + 3 digits (e.g., `48BT120`)
