Since 1981, Vicor has engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of power conversion components and systems.
Vicor also manufactures and sells complete configurable power systems, accessory products and custom power solutions. It also licenses certain rights to its technology in return for ongoing royalties. The principal markets for Vicor's power converters and systems are large original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and smaller, lower volume users, which are broadly distributed across several major market areas.
Power components are manufactured using highly automated processes in our ISO 9001 registered facilities in Andover, MA. As a result, the products are quickly available, economically priced and of consistent high quality.
Headquartered in Andover, MA, our customers include those of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the communications, data processing, industrial control, test equipment, medical, and military electronics markets.
Vicor offers three distinct types of power components. All of these high-performance products work well with different power architectures including Distributed, Intermediate Bus, and Factorized Power. Learn More »
Vicor’s Brick Business Unit (BBU) offers tens of thousands of standard and custom high-performance power conversion components delivered worldwide with very short development and delivery cycles. Vicor's PowerBench™ on-line tool suite enables the design of customized brick or configurable power supplies by customers to their exact specifications in minutes. Our new line of modular power converters known as VI Bricks™ incorporate V•I Chips into innovative, thermally-enhanced packaging. They can be used in a wide variety of applications that require high efficiency, high power density, improved thermal management, low noise, fast transient response, and overall design flexibility. When customers have application-specific requirements, Vicor Custom Power, with design centers throughout the USA, provides them with exactly the power supplies they want with the highest quality and the best value. Vicor's Brick Business Unit is a top supplier to 8,000 civilian and military manufacturers across the globe.
Vicor’s V•I Chip Business Unit offers families of high-performance, high-density V•I Chip™ BCM™ bus converters, PRM™ regulators, and VTM™ current multipliers enabling Factorized Power Architecture™ (FPA™) systems. Targeted to next generation system designs in server / datacenters, ATE, telecom, solid state lighting/displays, and defense electronics, V•I Chip modules support high efficiency, high power density and fast, scalable power system development at a low total cost. Leveraging factorized regulation and isolation / transformation functions, FPA power systems provide the flexibility to meet advanced application requirements. Customers use V•I Chips to enable the highest computing performance and efficiency: already, three of the top 10 supercomputers in the TOP500 (TFLOPS) and five of the top 10 supercomputers in the Green500 (MFLOPS / Watt) are powered by V•I Chips.
Our Picor Corporation business unit is a fabless designer, developer, and marketer of high performance integrated circuits and related products for use in a broad variety of power system applications. Power components such as Active Filters, Power Management and High-Density Power Conversion products from Picor are developed with a detailed knowledge of end-use power system requirements resulting in superior performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Picor also develops application-specific power components that are incorporated into Vicor’s own products. In fact, much of the differentiation and power conversion innovations of our V•I Chip and BBU products is attributable to Picor’s proprietary semiconductor circuitry.
