V•I Chip White Papers

	FPA Overview: An Introduction to FPA » Vicor’s new Factorized Power Architecture^TM(FPA), and its new families of integrated power components, called V•I Chips^TM, provides a revolutionary new and optimal power conversion solution that addresses the challenge in every respect.
	Enabling Next Generation High-Density Power Conversion » The drive to create Metadata processing server systems plus the parallel push for increased port density and triple-play (voice / video / internet) traffic handling in telecommunication systems places greater demands on power management architectures.
	Innovative Power Device to Support Intermediate Bus Architecture Designs » For a majority of applications implemented today, the Intermediate Bus Architecture (IBA) has become the preferred power architecture.
	High Current, Low Voltage Solution For Microprocessor Applications from 48 V Input » A novel approach for providing microprocessor power directly from 48 V is proposed. This solution enables high voltage, low current to be distributed throughout a system, minimizing distribution losses, while providing low voltage, high current direct from the 48V input in the most efficient manner possible.
	Datacenter Power Delivery Architectures: Efficiency and Annual Operating Costs » Here, four distinct power delivery architectures will be analyzed and benchmarked in terms of overall efficiency, power conversion footprint, and annual electrical operating costs.
	Efficient Power Conversion Solutions » This paper represents a follow-on step and proposes high efficiency, high power density power conversion solutions from the HV bus down to processor and low-/medium- and high-power loads.
	Dual-Stage Feedback Technique for Single-Pole Feedback Compensation » This paper proposes and studies the effects of a dual-stage compensation technique for achieving greater than 100 kHz crossover frequency of a single pole system converting from 48 V to 1.2 V.
	High-density, High-efficiency, Light-weight MIL-COTS DC-DC Solutions » The paper will introduce the topologies used within the new building block power components (Sine Amplitude Converter and Non-isolated Buck-Boost) and present system application comparisons between traditional and ‘Factorized Power’ architectures.
