Automotive Nagoya and online event
Automotive Engineering Exposition Online Stage 2 and Nagoya
Vicor to present the benefits of 48V power distribution and highly efficient power distribution networks with zonal architecture
It began in 1992 as a specialized exhibition of automobile technology for engineers and researchers active on the front lines of the automobile industry. It is held in Yokohama every year around May, and from 2014 it will also be held in Nagoya around July. It is the largest automotive technology exhibition in Japan.
In order to promote technological innovation in the automobile industry, not only manufacturers of two-wheel and four-wheel completed vehicles, but also parts manufacturers, body manufacturers, research institutions, automobile-related companies, universities, vocational schools, and technical high schools participate.
Vicor to present at Automotive Engineering Exposition Online Stage 2 July 9 – 30 and Nagoya July 16 – 18
Vicor's latest power solutions, maximizing the benefits of zonal electrical and electronic architectures
Presented by Seishi Tsukimoto, Senior Application Engineer
July 9 – 30
Online Stage 2
Seishi will explain the advantages and disadvantages of 48V power distribution, which has become a recent trend, and how to improve the efficiency of power distribution networks with zonal architecture.
Seishi Tsukimoto has over 20 years of research and development/design of DC-DC converters for industrial equipment, automotive, satellites and etc, and over 10 years of research and development of motor inverters. Since 2018, as a Senior Application Engineer at Vicor, Tsukimoto is mainly in charge of technical support for automotive.
July 9 – 30
Online STAGE 2
Vehicle power architecture for the SDV era consisting of Vicor modules
Presented by Tetsuo Haoka, Principal Field Application Engineer
July 17
12:20 to 12:50 PM
Exhibition Hall E
Aichi Sky Expo, Nagoya
Vicor has begun mass production of its in-vehicle power modules. Vicor's small, lightweight and highly flexible modules are ideal for configuring power systems for SDV zonal architectures. They are also suitable for powering actuators that require instantaneous high output while still driving at a low voltage of 48V, such as active suspension and steer-by-wire. In this seminar, we will explain Vicor's in-vehicle modules, which are the core components of vehicle power systems. We will also explain the mechanical structure inside the unit while showing an actual exhibit of a newly designed in-vehicle DC-DC unit prototype.
After receiving his Master's degree in Engineering from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tetsuo worked for over 10 years at Texas Instruments Japan, LLC and Renesas Electronics Corporation (formerly IDT Japan, LLC), where he was involved in embedded software design, ASIC logic circuit design, and technical support as a FAE (field application engineer).
Tetsuo joined Vicor in 2020. As a Principal Field Application Engineer, he is responsible for technical support for a wide range of applications, including semiconductor inspection equipment, data centers, and automotive.
