SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
A Better Way to Do Power By John Reardon, Publisher
Military engineers are increasingly relying on a more efficient and sophisticated solution for their power-hungry designs with a new system from Vicor Power (http://www.vicorpower. com/) – a longtime leader in the space. Dubbed Factorized Power Architecture (FPA), the system reduces power losses typically associated with the distribution of low-voltage,
high current power loads – while also expertly managing dynamic voltage and transient loads. BISinfotech – a highly respected journal covering technology in India -- was so impressed with the tech, it recognized Vicor as an innovator in power with its BIS Excellence & Technovation Award last fall.
And the same head-turning power solution helped Vicor win the 2020 Global Semiconductor Alliance Award -- in the category of ‘favorite semiconductor company’ – beating out the likes of AMD, NVIDIA, Inphi Corporation and SiTime Corporation. The GSA is one of the most prestigious organizations in the industry, representing corpo-
