Configuring in small spaces
How to fit high-power, multi-rail requirements into nontraditional small-spaced footprints. Learn to break down rails into smaller, paralleled increments.
Transitioning from 12V
Optimize your power distribution architecture by transitioning from 12V to 48V
In this technical overview, Vicor senior Field Applications Engineer David Berry examines the challenges of scaling high-current processor and GPU rails. Learn to mitigate restrictive IR distribution losses using buck-boost regulators alongside non-isolated, power-dense fixed-ratio multipliers. See details of step-down methodologies for secondary, low-power rails without expanding the overall printed circuit board footprint.
