Vicor Corp. recently entered into a nonexclusive license with Celestica Inc. to manufacture and sell the V•I Chip™ (VIC) Product Family. V•I Chips are the building blocks of the new Factorized Power Architecture (FPA) that Vicor announced this past April.
V•I Chips deliver up to 240W of power in a surface-mount (SMD) ball-grid array (BGA) package occupying less than 0.25 cubic-inch of space, with power densities up to 960W per-cubic-inch—five times better than competitive products. Available in both an "in-board" BGA configuration and an "on-board" leaded SMD configuration, and capable of efficiently delivering currents greater than 100A to the point-of-load, V•I Chips set new standards for conversion efficiency, fast response to dynamic loads and low noise performance.
V•I Chips are currently available from Vicor and will soon be offered by Celestica.
