Discover why more power-efficient systems are essential in the design of tomorrow’s electric vehicles. Listen to the podcast.
Podcast with Alix Paultre, Electronic Design, and Greg Green, Director of Automotive Marketing, Vicor
In this episode of Inside Electronics, we talk about the importance of sophisticated and efficient power systems in the designing the next generation of electric vehicles (EVs). We also addressed the equally important charging infrastructure that will be needed.
Today’s EVs are being infused with a host of cutting-edge technology, from AI to wide-bandgap semiconductors. In turn, the supporting power electronics must be as advanced as the systems they’re driving.
Innovative vehicle electrification solutions have accelerated the evolution of automotive system design. Added features that increase the operational power demands will thus influence how designers source power for various in-vehicle systems.
From Pikes Peak to Bonneville Salt Flats, Lightning Motorcycles electric bike outpaces the combustion engine motorcycles
Lightning Motorcycles engineered all-electric bike excels in every category. See how Vicor power modules support this next-gen bike
A novel way of using power modules to eliminate electric vehicle high-voltage pre-charge circuitry
With a dense power module, engineers can design novel architectures that balance the tradeoffs associated with vehicle pre-charging
Powering 400V accessory loads from an 800V battery
High-density power conversion using a single Vicor power module converts 800V to 400V with the smallest volume, lightest weight, and highest efficiency.
High-density power conversion significantly reduces the size and weight of DC-DC conversion
A traditional silver box power supply is too large and heavy to enable engineers’ goals to increase driving range between charges. Power modules reduce size and complexity while al...
