Vicor to Showcase Factorized Power Architecture at Marubun Booth During Edge Tech+ 2025
Vicor Corporation, a global leader in high-performance power solutions headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts, announced today that its Japan subsidiary, Vicor K.K., will be presenting its latest power delivery innovations at Edge Tech+ 2025, scheduled for November 19–21, 2025. The demonstration will take place at the booth of MARUBUN CORPORATION, a leading distributor of electronic components based in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
This event provides an important platform for engineers, system designers, and technology leaders to explore cutting-edge solutions in embedded computing, artificial intelligence, industrial automation, and other high-performance applications. Vicor’s presence at Edge Tech+ 2025 emphasizes its commitment to delivering next-generation power technologies that meet the rigorous demands of modern electronic systems.
Showcasing Factorized Power Architecture
At the heart of Vicor’s exhibit will be its Vertical Power Delivery (VPD) board, a product that leverages Vicor’s proprietary Factorized Power Architecture (FPA). Unlike traditional DC-DC converter designs, which combine voltage transformation and regulation in a single stage, FPA separates these functions into distinct modules.
By decoupling voltage regulation from transformation, FPA enables:
- High Power Density: Systems can deliver more power in a smaller footprint, essential for compact, high-performance computing environments and edge devices.
- Improved Efficiency: Separating the voltage regulation stage minimizes conversion losses and reduces overall energy consumption.
- Enhanced Thermal Performance: Lower heat generation allows for better system reliability and reduces cooling requirements, an increasingly critical factor in high-power embedded systems.
This modular approach not only simplifies power system design but also provides greater flexibility, allowing engineers to optimize individual power stages for specific voltage and current requirements. The VPD board demonstrates these advantages in real-world applications, showcasing how FPA can redefine system efficiency and reliability across multiple industries.
VITA 62-Compliant DC-DC Converter
In addition to the VPD board, Vicor K.K. will highlight its VITA 62-compliant DC-DC converters, designed for rugged, high-performance embedded systems used in aerospace, defense, telecommunications, and industrial automation.
The VITA 62 standard specifies mechanical and electrical interface requirements for OpenVPX power modules, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments where thermal stress, vibration, and extreme temperatures are common. Vicor’s VITA 62 converters deliver:
- High Power Output: Supporting the demanding voltage and current requirements of modern embedded systems.
- Mission-Critical Reliability: Engineered for continuous operation in mission-critical applications where system failure is not an option.
- Compact Form Factor: Optimized for space-constrained designs while maintaining compliance with industry standards.
By showcasing both the FPA-enabled VPD board and VITA 62-compliant converters, Vicor emphasizes its commitment to providing scalable, high-efficiency power solutions for next-generation systems that push the boundaries of performance and reliability.
Enabling Next-Generation Edge and Embedded Systems
The demand for higher computational performance, faster data processing, and lower power consumption continues to grow across multiple industries. From AI and machine learning workloads in edge computing environments to high-speed data acquisition systems in industrial automation, reliable power delivery has become a critical factor in system design.
Vicor’s Factorized Power Architecture addresses these challenges by offering:
- Scalable Power Delivery: Engineers can configure multiple voltage domains with minimal complexity, providing precise power to processors, FPGAs, GPUs, and other high-performance components.
- Reduced Energy Losses: FPA minimizes wasted energy, lowering operational costs and reducing thermal management burdens.
- Design Flexibility: Decoupled voltage regulation and transformation allow engineers to select optimal components for each stage, creating tailored solutions for specific system requirements.
For edge computing devices, where compact, high-density designs are essential, Vicor’s solutions deliver performance without compromise, enabling longer operational lifetimes, reduced cooling demands, and improved overall system reliability.
Industry Applications and Impact
Vicor’s advanced power solutions have a broad range of applications across critical industries:
- Telecommunications: High-efficiency DC-DC converters support base stations, 5G networks, and networking hardware, ensuring reliable performance in high-density data environments.
- Automotive and EV Systems: FPA enables robust power distribution in electric vehicles and autonomous driving platforms, where compact power delivery is essential under high-temperature operating conditions.
- Industrial Automation: Precision machinery, robotics, and factory automation benefit from Vicor’s converters, which maintain stable operation under thermal cycling and vibration.
- Defense and Aerospace: Mission-critical embedded systems rely on VITA 62-compliant converters for reliable operation in extreme conditions.
By integrating Vicor’s FPA and VITA 62 technologies, engineers gain the ability to simplify power architectures while achieving higher efficiency and reliability—factors that are crucial for next-generation systems operating at the edge or in demanding industrial environments.
