48V power delivery networks

Solutions for the entire power delivery network

The Vicor 48V ecosystem of high performance power modules provides complete power delivery networks to convert high voltage to a 48V bus, power downstream loads, and eases the transition with modules to power legacy 12V loads.

Enabling 12V/48V compatibility

Our regulated and fixed-ratio converters are easing the transition to inherent efficient 48V power delivery while alleviating the burden of re-designing systems that for decades have been optimized around 12V architectures.
