Vicor's white paper on applying zero-voltage switching to buck regulation.

Comparative Study of Yeaman Topology vs. Factorized Power Architecture™

A high-level overview of power trends in the high-power LED market

There are many electrification choices, but most manufacturers are opting for a 48-volt mild-hybrid system rather than a full-hybrid powertrain.

This white paper discusses a particular type of DC-DC coverter, the fixed-ratio converter (sometimes referred to as a bus converter), and why power system designers should consider it an essential part of power delivery architecture.

Power system architectures adapted to solve the new challenges of a changing communications, computing and industrial world, driven by ever-increasing performance demands.

Mitigating the impact of inevitable changes to requirements is essential to ensure projects are on time and within budget

While power components can be operated up to the maximum of the specified internal temperature range, it is always better to operate any electronic device at as low a temperature as possible.

Early experimental objectives and outcomes are outlined in the paper, along with pertinent techniques that can be used to overcome new challenges implied in this novel deployment of SAC parts.

This article attempts to address the notion of control of conducted emissions in the context of applying Vicor Power Components in a customer application.

Stop Choosing Between a Complete Power Supply or Discrete Power Design

Power averaging with regulation consistently improves efficiency and reduces the footprint of your power supply.

This paper describes the circuit models that have been created for Vicor products to allow engineers to estimate the maximum internal temperature of the power component when operating under known electrical conditions in a defined thermal environment.

Some applications, particularly railway and hold-up power supplies, require input voltage ranges that extend well beyond what most DC-DC converters can accept.

Selecting the right power system architecture can have a much bigger impact than optimizing component selection for a particular design.

As spaces shrink, the potential for interference between devices increase as systems fit more functions in densely-packed boards and racks

A Novel Approach to Industrial Rectifier Systems: Dense, Efficient and Modular Architecture Enabled by Fixed-Ratio Bus Converters

One solution for applications where the load is only on for a short duration and is repetitive, is to use a current-limiting converter and a capacitor to supply peak power needs.

This paper introduces a new application of the previously introduced “Yeaman Topology”.

The modular construction of the DCM (DC-DC Converter Module) and MFM (MIL-COTS Filter Module) is ideal for ruggedized DC-DC power systems used in compact enclosures, where these conditions can be severe
