Vicor to present best practices for converting high voltage to SELV at Automotive Innovation Day 2025
Using a soft-switching topology and higher switching frequencies you can reduce package weight and size, while meeting the most challenging power delivery requirements converting HV to SELV
Vicor will introduce the benefits of using the Sine Amplitude Converter (SAC™) controlled power conversion in the very challenging application of active suspensions systems. Vicor bidirectional power modules provide symmetrical power which optimizes the regenerative capacity of power system. Also, the combination of DC-DC power converter modules and 48V bus enable loads such as fans, pumps and motor driven loads (which usually require high currents and high power) to be easily supplied directly with energy from HV battery.

HV conversion to SELV: Supply to dynamic, motor driven loads
Presented by Greg Green, Director of Automotive Marketing, Vicor
In order to utilize the energy stored in HV battery for SELV loads it is necessary to convert HV to 48V bus, providing a reinforced isolation barrier, in a simple converter that is size and weight efficient. It also should have a high operating efficiency and fast bidirectional power conversion for regenerative loads such as active suspension systems.
We will present main features of such converter supplying regenerative motor loads on 48V bus and the benefits of using the SAC controlled power conversion in the very challenging application of active suspensions systems will be highlighted.
