Powering AI processors – 48V vertical power delivery changes the game
AI models demand huge current, driving legacy multiphase designs past 50 phases—causing space, thermal, and control limits Vicor addresses
Products range from the traditional full, half and quarter-brick fully encapsulated DC-DC converter modules to the next generation high-density surface-mount products at less than the size of an equivalent 1/32 brick. The brick family offers thousands of combinations of input voltage, output voltage and power levels. Input voltages range from 10 – 400VDC; output voltages from 1 – 95VDC; output power to 600W. Products can be paralleled for high power solutions. All MI and MIL-COTS converters are suitable for the most harsh environments, with choices of temperature grades providing operation down to -55°C (storage down to -65°C). Products are available to meet key military standards, including ground vehicle and airborne requirements of MIL-STD-1275 and MIL-STD-704; and requirements of MIL-STD-1399 for shipboard systems.

For your input filtering needs, Vicor provides several families of MIL-COTs input filters. These filters come in a wide range of package options from half-brick to surface mount LGA Systems in Package (SIP). Key military standards met include: conducted emission / conducted susceptibility per MIL-STD-461C/D/E; input transient, surge and spike protection to the most severe levels of MIL-STD-704A-F, MIL-STD-1275A/B/D and DO-160E.
For your output filtering needs, Vicor provides several families of MIL COTS output filters. These filters come in a wide range of package options from half-brick to surface mount LGA Systems in Package (SIP Features include active and passive filtering to achieve greater than 40 dB of noise attenuation from 60 Hz to 1 MHz; reduction of both line frequency related ripple and switching noise to less than 10 mV p-p, DC to 20 MHz.
