Vicor Company Profile

Vicor Corporation (headquartered in Massachusetts, USA, CEO: Patrizio Vinciarelli, hereinafter referred to as Vicor) has announced a collaboration with Ampaire, a company developing electric aircraft (headquartered in California, USA, CEO: Kevin Noertker, hereinafter referred to as Ampaire). In the automotive industry, growing concerns over the increase in carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions have led to a global rise in demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). A similar shift is occurring in the aviation industry, where reducing the costs of electric aircraft could expand air travel to remote areas that lack aviation services and increase the number of airports and transfer points where short-distance "air taxi" services are available. Ampaire is working to realize this vision by developing safe, quiet electric aircraft that are environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Ampaire aims to achieve a 90% reduction in fuel costs, a 50% reduction in maintenance, and a 66% reduction in noise during takeoff and landing compared to traditional combustion engine aircraft with its zero-emission fully electric aircraft.

Vicor Corporation (Headquarters: Massachusetts, USA, CEO: Patrizio Vinciarelli, NASDAQ listed: VICR, hereinafter: Vicor) announced its collaboration with WiBotic, Inc. (Headquarters: Washington, USA, CEO: Ben Waters, hereinafter: WiBotic), which develops charging systems for batteries mounted in robotics devices such as autonomous drones, mobile robotics, and fully autonomous underwater robots. The use of Vicor's high-efficiency power modules has eliminated thermal constraints, leading to the realization of an innovative wireless charger transmitter that can accommodate all battery-powered robots and charging stations. As systems for delivery and inspection by robots continue to develop, there is an increasing demand for efficient and flexible charging solutions, reducing the need for personnel to be stationed 24/7 to manually connect robots for charging. Currently, enhancing autonomy is a challenge, and WiBotic's technology can eliminate the need for human intervention. (For more details, please visit the website.)

Vicor Corporation (Headquarters: Massachusetts, USA, CEO: Patrizio Vinciarelli, hereinafter referred to as Vicor) has begun sales of the non-isolated DC-DC converter DCM3717, which achieves small size, lightweight, and high efficiency, converting voltage from 48V to 12V. The DCM3717 is a non-isolated DC-DC converter developed for applications such as data centers, automotive, and industrial equipment, converting an input voltage range of 40-60V (Safety Extra Low Voltage: SELV) to a stabilized output voltage of 12V (variable range 10.0-13.5V). It achieves a maximum conversion efficiency of 97% and a maximum output of 750W (continuous), and is provided in a gold package called SM-ChiP (Surface-Mount Converter housed in Package) measuring 37 x 17 x 7.4mm. The DCM3717 complies with LV148 (on-board 48V standard specification) required for electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. (For more details, please visit our website.)
