High performance power modules optimized for 
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.

Efficiently converting high voltage to 48V

Industry-leading power density and innovative architectures of Vicor power modules equip power designers with either isolated or non-isolated solutions that reduce the size and weight of power systems and enable the advantages of a 48V bus.

Application examples

Isometric illustration of an example high performance computing power delivery network

High performance computing

Moving AC-DC rectification and battery backup from data center racks to a central location, using 400V power distribution in data centers, and utilizing Vicor BCM power modules’ compact 400 to 48V conversion within the rack can increase the number of processors in each rack by fourfold.
