Product
High‑density modular converters
High-density modular DC-DC converters deliver industry-leading power density (>30 W/in3) and efficiency (>96%) for space-constrained designs, shrinking board footprint while cutting thermal load. Optimized for AI, HPC, telecom, industrial and defense use cases needing tight thermal and EMI control, they support rail-level scaling from board to rack. ChiP packaging and Factorized Power Architecture enable flexible design-in and scalable power with lower losses and simplified layout.
Factorized Power Architecture
Factorized Power Architecture separates regulation (PRM) from transformation (VTM/BCM), shortening power paths for sub-µs transient response and >95% conversion efficiency. It cuts distribution losses by up to 30% and simplifies complex board layouts. Scales from mA to >1 kA at point‑of‑load with minimal derating. Enhances reliability and thermal performance under demanding duty cycles.
Front‑end AC‑DC and rectification
High-efficiency front-end AC-DC units feed Vicor 4P downstream DC-DC stages in data centers, industrial automation, and transportation, providing reduced conversion losses and consistent DC rails. Integrated power factor correction and low harmonic emission design support compliance with IEC 61000-3-2 and grid interconnection requirements. The modular approach enables right‑sizing for power shelves and chassis and eases inventory and CAPEX scaling. Units are designed for robust operation and simplified integration with Vicor backplanes for rapid system deployment.
Complete power systems & kits
Complete power systems & kits deliver pre‑engineered reference designs, evaluation boards, and turnkey subsystems that accelerate time‑to‑market and shorten OEM design cycles for stringent qualification timelines. Integrated thermal solutions, filtering, and protection enable quick validation while design tools guide optimal module selection and PCB layout. The global power electronics market was about $63B in 2024 with ~6.5% CAGR, underscoring demand for ready‑to‑use kits.
- Pre‑engineered designs: reduce development time up to 50%

Place
Direct OEM sales
Direct OEM sales engage strategic AI, computing, industrial, and defense accounts through solution selling, driving design‑wins across platform architectures. Field engineers support architecture decisions and design‑in to accelerate qualification and reduce integration risk. Long‑term multi‑year agreements (typically 3–5 years) ensure supply continuity across platform lifecycles and enable co‑development and roadmap alignment.
Global authorized distributors
Vicor leverages major electronics distributors—Digi-Key, Mouser, Arrow and Avnet—as of 2025 to ensure broad availability and rapid fulfillment. Stocking programs cover popular power modules, evaluation boards and accessories for immediate delivery. Online ordering with parametric search and global shipping reduces procurement friction. Distributors provide samples and point-of-purchase technical content to support design engineers.
Online design tools
Vicor's online configurator and power system designer let users specify modules, rails, and thermal options for custom power architectures. The tools generate BOMs, schematics, and reference layouts to accelerate prototyping. They integrate with distributor inventory and pricing for real-time sourcing. Available 24/7 for self‑service design exploration.
Regional FAEs and labs
Regional FAEs provide onsite and virtual support for validation and optimization, with Vicor’s global support network accelerating compliance and derisking of new platforms; lab resources enable EMI, thermal and transient testing to bridge the gap between datasheet and production performance. Vicor reported fiscal 2024 revenue of $438.6M and uses regional labs to shorten validation cycles.
- Onsite + virtual validation
- EMI, thermal, transient labs
- Speeds compliance & derisking
- Bridges datasheet → production
Manufacturing and logistics hubs
Vicor’s US-based manufacturing (headquartered in Andover, MA in 2024) and tight quality control underpin supply to high-reliability markets, while flexible capacity and build-to-order processes handle demand variability. Strategic inventory placement shortens global lead times, and a diversified supplier network reduces component shortages and transit risk.
OEM sales and distributors drive design-wins; FY2024 revenue $438.6M
Direct OEM sales and FAEs drive design‑wins and multi‑year agreements for continuity; distributors (Digi‑Key, Mouser, Arrow, Avnet) ensure rapid fulfillment.
