Vicor to Speak at the Automotive Engineering Exposition 2026 ONLINE STAGE 1

Vicor KK (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo), the Japanese subsidiary of Vicor Corporation (Headquarters: Massachusetts, USA; CEO: Patrizio Vinciarelli; NASDAQ: VICR), will participate in the 'Automotive Engineering Exposition 2026 ONLINE STAGE 1' (organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan), which begins today.

In this online exhibition, Vicor KK will release an online seminar titled 'Automotive System Application Examples Realized by Vicor's High-Performance Power Modules,' presented by Seishi Tsukimoto, Senior Application Engineer at Vicor KK.

The presentation will focus on compact, lightweight, and high-efficiency power solutions essential for optimizing power delivery networks to resolve the power challenges faced by automakers and Tier 1 suppliers.

The seminar will explain methods for achieving high-efficiency conversion from high voltage to a safe 48V power supply utilizing Vicor's proprietary power architecture and fixed-ratio DC-DC converters. It will also cover optimal power supply to regenerative and pulsed loads by leveraging bidirectional and fast transient response characteristics.

Additionally, specific automotive application examples such as active suspensions, windshield defrosting systems, and cabin heating will be introduced.

Currently, Vicor is partnering with automakers and Tier 1 suppliers to realize compact, lightweight, and high-efficiency power systems utilizing its high-performance power modules.

At the 'Automotive Engineering Exposition 2026 YOKOHAMA,' held from Wednesday, May 27 to Friday, May 29, Betterfrost will display a windshield defrosting system incorporating Vicor's power system at the Ontario, Canada booth.

Betterfrost has developed a heated windshield and optimized power control system for glass, utilizing Vicor's high power density DC-DC converters combined with Betterfrost's software control. This system not only removes frost, snow, and ice from the outside of the windshield but also clears interior fog, thereby reducing energy consumption in moving vehicles.
