Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Development, sampling, and scaling of Gen 5 VPD solutions designed to deliver 10 kW at 48V in an ultra-compact form factor for AI server racks and 800V EV powertrains.
Expected impact: Provides 3x current density and cuts resistive losses by up to 50%, positioning Vicor as a critical enabler of next-generation AI accelerators.
Maximizing utilization of the first 90,000-square-foot ChiP fabrication facility in Andover, MA, and planning for a second fabrication facility to support high-volume automated production.
Expected impact: Triples production capacity, enabling mass production of Power-on-Package modules and driving operating leverage as fixed costs are absorbed.
Proactive enforcement of patented power conversion technologies and securing all-inclusive licensing agreements with major OEMs and hyperscalers.
Expected impact: Generates high-margin royalty streams (such as the Q2 2026 guidance upgrade) and establishes multi-source manufacturing options for hyperscale customers.
