Vicor was founded in 1981 with a vision to develop products that would increase the efficiency of power delivery systems and reduce system cost, size, and complexity. Those early pioneering efforts resulted in the invention of Vicor's patented Maxi, Mini, and Micro products and introduced to the world the concept of Converter-Based Solutions. In the late 90s and early 2000s, Vicor leveraged its power conversion technology to develop higher power and higher performance products including the VI Chip, VI Brick, and Advanced Bus Converter (ABC). In the years that followed, Vicor continued to expand its power system and module portfolio to meet a wide range of power conversion requirements.
