Online power supply design tool

By uniquely integrating design, ordering, and manufacturing processes, PowerBench minimizes costs and lead time. The tools also provide unprecedented levels of information such as immediate price and availability quotes, giving complete control to the user.

PowerBench enables engineers to determine whether a standard, existing non-standard or customer-specific specification power supply will best meet the needs of their application. Vicor is the only power supply company to manufacture all products – whether standard or customer-specific – using the same production line and process. This reduces NRE, costs and lead times, ensuring comparable pricing for standard and non-standard supplies as well as the same outstanding levels of quality and reliability for all products.

Engineers use PowerBench’s module design system to specify online the exact power supply they need and verify in real time its performance and attributes. This eliminates the risk of specifying the wrong power supply for the application. Customer-specific products specified using PowerBench offer cost-effective NRE costs (typically $3500 for a new product), and prototype quantities are usually delivered in less than six weeks, reducing time-to-market for the end system.

The PowerBench suite of tools encompasses the design of DC-DC converters, AC-DC and DC-DC partitioned power architecture (VIPAC and VIPAC Arrays), and a broad range of power-factor corrected AC-DC power supplies.
