Vicor to Highlight New Power Semiconductor and System Innovation at Darnell's Power Forum 2012


(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ANDOVER, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/13/12 -- Vicor™ Corporation (NASDAQ: VICR) today announced its participation in Darnell's Power Forum 2012, the premier power electronics industry event hosted by Darnell Group. A Platinum sponsor of the event, Vicor will be exhibiting at booth #303 onsite within the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, San Jose, California, September 19-21.



At the event, principal engineer Chris R. Swartz will deliver a presentation on a new zero voltage switching (ZVS) buck regulator topology, utilized in the new Picor® Cool-Power® ZVS buck regulators. The presentation, titled 'ZVS Buck Regulator Enables High Performance within Point of Load Applications,' is scheduled for Friday, September 21, from 10:45AM - 12:15PM, and will address the inherent benefits of a ZVS buck regulator topology for board-level designers seeking maximum power density and flexibility for high efficiency point of load DC-DC regulation.

Vicor will be showcasing its newest power semiconductor solutions and systems at the event. In addition to its ZVS buck regulators, the company will feature its new Westcor™ MicroPAC™ output-configurable AC-DC power systems, providing up to 1300 W of continuous power at up to 92% efficiency and 25 Win3 power density for distributed power architectures in industrial and automation, MIL-COTS, telecom and renewable energy applications.


Vicor will also feature its direct 48V-to-processor power conversion solutions for the datacenter, cloud computing and telecom markets. Compliant with Intel's x86 VR12.0 voltage regulation specification, VI Chip® PRM® non-isolated regulators and VTM® current multipliers enable more efficient power distribution and eliminate duplicate conversion stages in traditional 48V to 12V to 1V power systems, yielding more than 5% greater overall efficiency in a package size 3X smaller than competing offerings.

Darnell's Power Forum is a premier international event focused on 'advancing power technologies that matter' for the successful development of next-generation power systems. Presentations and discussions will focus on power management, energy efficiency, advanced components, energy storage, and smart grid innovations that are enabling practical advances in power electronics.
