小さなスペースに大電力を
自動車業界が直面している大きな課題の一つは、より多くの電力が小さなスペースに必要ということです。内燃エンジン車の消費電力が3kWあるのに対し、EVは50kW以上の電力を必要とします。20倍もの電力の増加に対応するためには、スペースや重量を節約したコンパクトな電源ソリューションが必要です。電力供給ネットワークの小型・軽量化は、必要不可欠な要素です。例えば、出力2.5kWのVicor BCM6135は、手のひらに乗るサイズで、重さはわずか65gです。
Using miniaturized power modules with up to 5x the density, the modular approach uses less real estate, leaving more room for functionality. High efficiency modules require much simpler thermal management and allow for flexible and scalable designs that are simpler and quicker to design and update.
Unlike complex discrete solutions and inflexible “silver box” power systems, power delivery networks using power modules is quick and easy to design and implement. Accommodating new loads — or changes in power needs in a design — is easily accomplished by replacing or adding modules.
