The automotive-grade resistors from Vishay offer high pulse absorption, power dissipation of 150 W, and a clip-mount package for direct mounting on a heatsink.
With the rise of autonomous vehicles, the need for dual 48-V/12-V battery systems is a crucial step. But managing two batteries raises new design issues, including bidirectional step-down and step-up between batteries.
48 V is emerging as the new standard for automotive power. But Molex warns that bridging the gap between current 12-V and future 48-V power systems poses challenges for engineers.
