Fast transient response
Scalable across platforms
Power 48V loads right off the HV battery
Vicor high performance power modules require dramatically less space than traditional discrete power solutions. This allows for flexible placement of power conversion within the vehicle where the alternatives simply would not fit.
By adopting the modular approach, easily scale power to meet requirements by simply adding another module or swapping for a different module. This allows for the same power architecture to be deployed across vehicle platforms.
Preserve the advantages of high-voltage energy storage by using a Vicor module to deliver power within a SELV range. It provides the fast response time required to meet the power drawn by the wide variety of subsystems.
Isolation is contained within the Vicor BCM, eliminating many discrete components. The module supports regenerative power to the HV battery from loads to extend vehicle range.
Our team of engineers collaborates with customers to tailor our modules to support specific needs and to architect new, efficient, modular power delivery networks that take full advantage of our modules. Using just a few power modules, possible solutions support hundreds of unique power network designs to achieving the best mix of power, weight, and package space.
Vicor BCM6135 power modules enable 800V and 400V batteries to supply 48V power delivery networks, while reducing weight and space consumption. Power level can be increased and decreased by 2.5kW simply by adding or removing a module. As shown, three BCM6135s provide 7.5kW of power. The BCM6135 provides bidirectional power conversion and fast transient response, eliminating the need for intermediate energy storage at 48V. The BCM6135 can virtualize the HV battery to look like a 48V battery within the system without the space and weight associated with a physical 48V battery – something a discrete solution cannot do.
