Eliminate intermediate energy storage in electric and hybrid vehicle power delivery architectures
The power delivery architectures of pure electric (EV) and hybrid vehicles store and distribute power at a mix of voltages for a wide variety of sensing, control, safety and infotainment subsystems. This presents a cost, space, and weight challenge for automotive power systems engineer. Vicor fixed ratio converters offer a unique opportunity to solve this challenge by eliminating 48V or 12V batteries.
