Automotive eBook: Accelerate Vehicle Electrification With the Smallest, Lightest Power Modules
Oct. 25, 2024
EV sales for both pure battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are accelerating rapidly.
While sales for both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are accelerating rapidly, there are other significant changes too. Vehicle electrical subsystem power loads have grown over 20x in recent years – driving interest in 48V systems that efficiently handle exponentially increased power demand while supporting 12V legacy systems. OEMs must respond with power delivery networks (PDNs) that match fluctuating market conditions.
This eBook shows that the best way to meet these objectives is to adopt a modular approach using compact, efficient, lightweight modules with high power density.
