Vicor target Indian ESDM market with 95%+ efficient DC/DC converters

In the shrinking world of electronics, the latest SoC chips and systems occupy such a small space. To power these small but extremely integrated and power-variation sensitive VLSI chips, design engineers are looking for power supply modules and ICs which occupy even less space and offer highest power efficiency, so that the battery powered and even mains powered devices consume less overall-power. The need for high power-density and high-efficiency power converter occupying less space forcing power supply design engineers to think about new switching topologies and switching control.
