Vicor DC-DC converters leverage zero-voltage switching (ZVS), zero-current switching (ZCS) and high-frequency operation to enhance filter design efficiency. These technologies minimize switching losses and electromagnetic interference (EMI), enabling the use of smaller, more compact input and output filters compared to traditional pulse-width modulation (PWM)-based converters. Learn more about this approach can help optimize your DC-DC converter stability. https://ow.ly/o1yH50Y4sgX

Join Greg Green, Director of Automotive Marketing at Vicor, in this upcoming webinar, where he will discuss how the automotive industry is faced with the demand for more power from within the same or more confined spaces. He will explain how high density power modules address these constraints, are a catalyst to innovation, and will improve overall power delivery network efficiency without compromising performance. Register today
Upcoming webinar will address automotive electronics challenges The automotive industry faces increasing pressure to deliver higher power performance within progressively smaller and lighter electronic designs. As vehicles incorporate electrification, advanced driver-assistance systems, and connected technologies, engineers are required to balance power density, efficiency, reliability, and safety without increasing size or weight. On 19th February 2026 at 2pm UK, Electronic Specifier will host a webinar, Maximising Power in Minimal Space: Automotive Electronics Challenges, which will examine the technical and design approaches used to meet these requirements. The session will focus on current challenges and emerging solutions in automotive electronics, with particular attention to power electronics architectures, thermal management techniques, and advanced packaging strategies. Our first confirmed speaker is Greg Green, Director of Automotive Marketing, Vicor Register now 👇 https://lnkd.in/ezUC2HmK #ElectronicSpecifier #Automotive #Electronics #Tech #Webinar

Never again will you have to scrape ice from your car windows! With this new breakthrough technology it will gone in 60 seconds. Learn more about Betterfrost’s amazing new pulsed-power de-icing approach using high density power modules.
❄️ Defrosting in 60 seconds? Betterfrost and Vicor are changing the game for EVs. ⚡ Winter driving just got a major upgrade. We are thrilled to share how our partnership with Vicor is helping solve one of the biggest efficiency challenges for Electric Vehicles: the energy-draining defrost cycle and defog during driving. As reported by Softei - Global Electronics Industry News, Betterfrost’s breakthrough technology can now defrost a windshield in record time—just 60 seconds—while using 20x less energy than traditional HVAC systems. How it works: Instead of wasting battery power to heat the entire glass surface, our system sends short, power pulses through the Low-E conductive layer inside the windshield. This breaks the bonds of ice to the glass, so the ice slides right off without melting the entire mass of ice or heat loss to the exterior The Tech Behind the Pulse: To achieve this, we need power delivery that is high-density, lightweight, and incredibly efficient. That’s where Vicor comes in. By utilizing Vicor’s high-density BCM6135 bus converters, we efficiently convert 800V and 400V traction batteries down to 48V to power our pulsed system safely and effectively. "Vicor makes 48V power delivery without excessive size or weight limitations," says our CEO, Derrick Redding. This isn't just about clear windows; it's about extending EV range and enhancing safety during the coldest months of the year with efficient power delivery.

Vicor has partnered with Betterfrost to make your winter commutes easier and safer. Traditional approaches to defrosting icy windshields channel wasted heat generated from internal combustion engines to the windshield, taking up to 20 minutes to defrost your icy car windshield. Betterfrost’s solution uses 20X less energy and uses pulsed power and high-density power modules to evenly melt ice on automobile glass in less than 60 seconds! Learn more about this breakthrough solution that uses a 48V-centric power delivery network and a Vicor BCM® fixed-ratio bus converter to rapidly de-ice automotive glass in record time. https://ow.ly/kQXX50XZOuo

Co-op programs play a critical role in bridging the gap between classroom and professional practice. Vicor has many talented individuals who are a part of Vicor’s co-op program. They participate in team meetings, work on projects, and are assigned important tasks. They quickly become valuable contributors to the group. We appreciate their ambition, commitment to learning and desire to enhance their skills, and in return, they receive mentorship and direction from seasoned Vicor engineers and staff. They developed real-world skills that can’t be learned in the classroom.

Vicor power modules are essential for designing the smallest and lightest power delivery for active suspension systems, as they combine a 48V architecture with high-density DC-DC converters. Four Vicor BCM6135, 800V to 48V DC-DC fixed-ratio bus converters are used to convert high voltage to 48V and route power to each wheel. The BCM6135 is bidirectional and provides the fastest transient response of any DC-DC converter. This symmetrical switching speed enables optimal energy regeneration.
