NUREMBERG, Germany, June 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vicor
Corporation (NASDAQ:VICR) today announced a bidirectional
non-isolated fixed-ratio converter for hybrid 48V/12V power systems
in data center and automotive applications.
The
2317 NBM is a bidirectional converter capable of providing up to
750W continuously at 48V from 12V, or at 12V from 48V, with over
98% peak efficiency. With up to 1kW of peak power capability (for
up to 2ms) in a 23 x 17 x 7mm surface-mount package, the NBM
(NBM2317S54D1464T0R) provides a complete solution with no external
circuitry needed. By switching at 2MHz, the NBM provides low output
impedance and fast transient response to dynamic loads. The NBM
incorporates hot-swap and inrush current limiting, increasing power
system density and saving valuable board space, time and money.
In data
centers that are still relying on legacy 12V distribution, the NBM
supports state-of-the-art 48V input GPUs
using Power-on-Package ("PoP") Modular Current
Multipliers ("MCMs") driven from a 48V node sourcing a small
fraction (1/48) of the GPU current. Current multiplication
overcomes the power delivery boundaries imposed by traditional 12V
systems that limit higher bandwidth and connectivity. In data
centers that have been upgraded to a 48V infrastructure, the NBM
can be used to support legacy 12V loads.
In mild
hybrid and autonomous vehicles using 48V, the NBM supports legacy
12V subsystems from efficient power distribution at 48V with or
without dual batteries.

About Power-on-Package
The Vicor
PoP modules build upon Factorized Power Architecture (FPA) systems
deployed in high-performance computers and large-scale data
centers. FPA provides efficient power distribution and direct
conversion from 48V to 1V for GPUs, CPUs and ASICs demanding up to
1,000A. By deploying current multiplication in close proximity to
high-current Artificial Intelligence (AI) processors, PoP MCMs
enable higher performance and system efficiency.

Power Component Design
Methodology
Vicor Power Component Design Methodology enables power system
designers to reap all of the benefits of modular power component
design - predictable component and system functionality and
reliability, fast design cycles, and easy system configurability,
re-configurability and scaling - while achieving system operating
efficiency, power density and economy that rival the best
alternative solutions. Utilizing Vicor Power System Designer,
engineers can select from an extensive portfolio of proven Vicor
power components to architect, optimize and simulate their complete
power system, all the way from their input sources to their points
of load. This innovative approach to power system design delivers
fast time-to-market and state-of-the-art performance while
minimizing the possibility of last minute surprises and delays that
so often occur with conventional or custom design
methodologies.
