As the automotive industry shifts toward 800V battery systems and 48V zonal architectures, power system designers are looking for rapidly deployable solutions that also optimize performance and minimize size, weight and system cost. Addressing this demand, Vicor has introduced a new line of automotive-grade power modules aimed at simplifying the complex task of converting high voltages to 48 V and 12 V. The new modules are engineered to deliver industry-leading power density and scalability via parallel operation for a wide range of power levels.
Vicor will be presenting at World Congress Experience (WCX) 2025 in Detroit on April 8-10. The presentation will highlight the newest high-power density DC-DC converter power modules that are designed to solve today’s toughest automotive electrification challenges. This year, on April 8th at 3:30 pm, Patrick Kowalyk, Automotive Principal Field Application Engineer, North America, will present how to “Optimize High Voltage to SELV Performance While Eliminating a 48 V Battery and Super Caps.” Patrick will address easy-to-implement modular solutions for converting high voltage battery voltages direct-to-load (48 V and 12 V). He will explain how bidirectional, high power density DC-DC converter power modules, using soft switching topology at frequencies > 1.4 MHz, can downsize the power delivery network, enhance efficiency and improve overall system performance.
