VICOR CORPORATION
Power Solutions
Vicor's product line of modular power components and complete power systems
includes thousands of combinations of input voltage, output voltage, and power
levels, complete with accessory components that integrate other power system
functions. Together, these products allow designers around the world to meet their
unique power requirements by selecting and interconnecting standard modular
parts. The benefits for you are rapid, flexible design of complete power systems at
any power level.
If you don't find the converter you need from our thousands of predefined DC-DC
converters, you can design your own custom product on the web using Vicor's
PowerBench Design System. We offer a wide range of solutions with 1 – 20 outputs
and autoranging, PFC, or three-phase inputs. There are several chassis sizes to
choose from, both with and without integral cooling fans. Also available from Vicor
is a strong offering of front ends and filters to complete your design. Our extensive
MIL-COTS product line incorporates the technology and features of our commercial
products into a cost-effective alternative for military, aerospace, and other high-
reliability, harsh-environment applications. Standard inputs of 28, 48, 155, 270, and
375 Vdc are available.
Vicor is pioneering the second wave of the power component revolution with the
introduction of flexible, high-performance power components. V

Factorized
Power Architecture provides the means to more efficient power distribution and
the V
•
I Chips provide the building blocks with the right attributes of high density
and efficiency, flexibility, and fast transient response that enable power architects to
more easily design small, high-performance, cost-effective power system solutions.
V

I Chip PRMs
™
(regulators), VTMs
™
(voltage transformers) and BCMs
™
(bus
converters) are available for a wide range of DC-DC conversion and Intermediate
Bus Architecture applications. MIL-COTS versions are also available.
New power options are available with Picor’s first standard semiconductor solution
–
Cool–ORing
™
– that can substantially reduce power dissipation and size, while
providing superior dynamic response for Active ORing applications in redundant
power architectures. Another new option is the new modular power platform:
VI BRICK. The new VI BRICK family is an advanced modular power platform that
incorporates the superior technical attributes of V
•
I Chip technology and a robust
packaging that facilitates thermal management and through-hole assembly.
Models include high-current density / low-voltage DC-DC converters, a wide range
of highly efficient bus converters (BCM), and individual modules – PRM and VTM –
for both regulation and transformation.
Vicor Custom Power provides complete power solutions for communications,
industrial, datacom, test equipment, medical diagnostics, and MIL-COTS. Using
the extensive Vicor line of DC-DC converters in a modular, building-block design
approach, Custom Power offers total solutions to unique power requirements in
the shortest possible time.
All our products deliver agency-approved reliability and the predictable performance
of field-proven power technology, including conformance to RoHS if desired. Vicor
is ISO 9001:2000 certified and places heavy emphasis on the "Plan-Do-Check-Act"
model (PDCA) to foster continuous improvement. This enables proactive actions to be
undertaken to improve our technology, our products, our processes, and our service
to our customers. Our new
Quality Center on vicorpower.com
enables quality
managers, purchasing agents, and designers to see comprehensive video of our
facilities as well as generate customized ISO 9001:2000 reports about our quality
systems.
Be assured that Vicor is on a continuous quest for the best technical solution for
you. Moreover, our commitment to the elegance and affordability of your design is
backed up by our global staff of experienced applications engineers. Rely on Vicor
as your dedicated design partner.
