Andover, MA, April 1, 2025 — As the automotive industry migrates to 800V batteries and a 48V zonal architecture, power system designers are looking for rapidly deployable solutions that also optimize performance, minimize size, weight and system cost. Converting from high voltage to 48V and 12V, presents a variety of complex power design challenges. The new Vicor automotive grade power modules are designed to help power engineers solve these high voltage power conversion problems using 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, 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 3:00pm Patrick Kowalyk, Automotive Principal Field Application Engineer, North America will present how to “Optimize high voltage to SELV performance while eliminating a 48V battery and super caps.” Patrick will address easy-to-implement modular solutions for converting high voltage battery voltages direct-to-load (48V and 12V). He will explain how bidirectional, high-power density DC-DC converter power modules, using soft-switching topology at frequencies >1.4MHz, can downsize the power delivery network and enhance efficiency while improving overall system performance.
