Vicor launches new eBook helping engineers transition from 12V to 48V power distribution
Vicor has published Accelerate your move to a high-performance 48V power delivery network, a new 34-page eBook. This resource provides engineers and system designers with helpful tips and concepts to consider to transition from 12V power delivery networks (PDNs) to 48V. This free in-depth guide will help optimise power delivery to gain a competitive edge in the market.
Today computing, automotive, and industrial applications demand higher performance and efficiency and traditional 12V architectures are reaching their limits. Higher performing 48V architectures that reduce I2R losses are emerging as the obvious solution which not only unlocks power system capabilities, it also enables new levels of innovation.
Filled with insights and real-life applications, the eBook provides guidance on designing 48V power delivery networks to enhance the performance, efficiency and reliability of industrial products. Engineers can learn how the 48V PDN evolved, how to overcome power design challenges and how others have implemented successful power delivery networks that deliver competitive advantage. Readers can also learn how to leverage high-performance power modules to quickly prototype and implement a 48V PDN.
“With the rapid growth of AI and the infusion of higher voltage electrification, power delivery can provide a competitive advantage,” said David Krakauer, VP of Marketing, Vicor. “This eBook explores why 48V distribution is quickly becoming the standard for next-generation designs, delivering benefits such as reduced conduction losses, improved thermal performance and smaller, lighter power delivery networks. This eBook offers the insights you need to accelerate your transition from 12V to 48V.”
Key topics in Accelerate your move to a high performance 48V power delivery network eBook include:
• The technical and economic advantages of 48V over legacy systems
• How 48V enables higher performance for AI, data centres, and automotive platforms
