Automotive eBook - High density power conversion: more power in less space
March 5, 2025
This eBook provides a guide to developing better power delivery to meet the needs of today’s EVs
Application examples will show you how high density power conversion can optimize vehicle power from the high voltage battery to an efficient, lightweight 48V zonal architecture:
400/800V charging compatibility
400/800V conversion to 48V
Bridging 48V and 12V in zonal architectures
Case studies will demonstrate how other companies have leveraged Vicor technology to overcome design challenges:
Significantly reducing the size and weight of DC-DC conversion
Powering 400V legacy accessories in new 800V architectures
High density power conversion makes active suspensions viable
In-depth articles will guide you through the key advantages of power modules over traditional discrete power solutions:
BEVs have a weight problem that can’t be solved with traditional approaches
Eliminate the 12V battery and increase EV performance
Preparing the way ahead for a compatible EV infrastructure
