Effectively converting high-voltage battery power (800V or 400V) to SELV (Safety Extra-Low Voltage) is very difficult if you wish to achieve a power delivery network (PDN) that is compact, lightweight and has a reinforced isolation barrier. Traditional high voltage (HV) to SELV DC-DC converters are limited by switching frequency resulting in bigger and heavier magnetic components, greater power losses and limited power regeneration capabilities.

Vicor will deliver a presentation on “High Efficiency Power and Conversion Technology” (Tech Taipei), explaining how high-density power modules, using soft-switching topology at frequencies >1.4MHz can downsize the HV to SELV PDN, enhance efficiency and improve overall performance. Additionally, symmetrical bidirectional power conversion can maximize high-power regenerative loads transferring power back to the battery.

Active suspension power systems leveraging Vicor bidirectional, fixed-ratio power modules, enable smaller and lighter PDNs and deliver better overall performance. Not only are the Vicor DC-DC converters capable of top transient speeds to optimize energy recuperation, they also offer the highest power density in the industry enabling OEMs to save weight and space in the PDN design.
