Advanced 48V power architectures

By adopting the modular approach power modules can be paralleled or swapped, allowing designs to accommodate new loads or changes in power. This enables easy scaling to meet different power needs without a complete redesign, allowing for easy customization and aftermarket additions to vehicles.

Fast transient response

The ability to rapidly respond to changing load demands is crucial in EVs, especially during acceleration, braking, and other dynamic driving conditions. Vicor modules excel in this regard, ensuring smooth and efficient power delivery, optimizing energy usage.

Quickly implement a power solution

Vicor provides tested and qualified power modules to build power delivery networks that can be designed quickly without all the wasted time and effort to test and certify a new discrete design. This enables our customers to get to market faster, giving them a distinct advantage over their competition.

The power delivery network

Vicor power delivery network for HV eMobility 48V bus

Isolated, high-density BCM fixed-ratio converters safely and reliably convert a high voltage input into standard safety extra low voltage (SELV) 48Vbus output voltages to power 48V loads. BCMs are parallelable to achieve the power level necessary to support all the vehicle’s accessory loads. Vicor DCM4623 DC-DC converter modules convert high voltage batteries to efficiently power 12V vehicle loads such as ABS. Vicor power modules excel in both efficiency and power density, crucial factors for maximizing range and minimizing charging times in LEV. Their compact footprint allows for optimized packaging within the vehicle's limited space, while their high reliability ensures long-term performance and durability. Their soft-switching topologies allow for DC-DC voltage transformation without the generation of harmonics, high-frequency components that are often very difficult to filter. Additionally, the high-frequency operation allows for a reduction in the size of the EMI filter components.
