48V instead of 12V: DC‑DC converters in focus of the SDV
Future vehicles use 12V, 48V, and HV rails. Vicor experts discuss the vital role of DC-DC converters in SDVs, focusing on energy efficiency and safety
CO2 emission compliance standards have motivated OEMs to reconsider how to power the automobile again. While OEMs are introducing electrified vehicles to meet these standards, there has yet to emerge a harmonized approach for delivering electric power, not only to the motors but to all the subsystems in a vehicle. This lack of clarity is compounded by the tremendous increase in power requirements.
This webinar focuses on how a modular approach to power tackles three key hurdles to electrification. It presents real-world power application examples for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, including decentralized 48V power distribution and 400V/800V charging compatibility.
