Summary
This case study focuses on the challenges faced by delivery UAVs and the solutions provided by Vicor's power modules. Delivery UAVs are required to safely deliver goods over long distances while managing heavier loads. Key challenges include maintaining safety in congested areas and ensuring redundancy in power systems to prevent failures that could harm people or cargo. The objectives outlined include increasing flight time, creating a compact and lightweight solution, and supporting various point-of-load voltages. Vicor's high power density modules are presented as a solution to reduce the overall weight of drones, thereby enhancing payload capacity and operational efficiency. The case study details specific products such as ZVS buck and buck-boost regulators, highlighting their specifications, including input and output voltage ranges, current ratings, and efficiency levels. These products are designed to extend flight times and optimize space for additional payloads, ensuring reliable delivery operations.
