Vicor introduced VCAD (Vicor Configurable Automated Design), an automated design tool that gives power designers more flexibility and real-time control over the design and manufacture of power solutions. This step toward true mass customization facilitates a rapid response to unique applications by giving designers the ability to explore a variety of solutions that meet their unique electrical and mechanical requirements. Furthermore, VCAD, in combination with a proprietary computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) system supporting a high mix of products in both high and low volumes, enables customers to enhance their time to market performance.

With VCAD, customers can choose from available input voltages, output configurations, thermal features, mechanical configurations, and an optional power-up/power-down sequencing feature to design custom power solutions at standard lead times and prices
