High-density power modules reduce the size, weight and number of components of automotive power systems by 70%

Vicor will debut three new solutions for powering the xEV at the International Automotive Design & Engineering Show (WCX™) in Detroit, April 5-7, 2022. The proven Vicor solution uses high-density power modules and a new power supply architecture to reduce power consumption by 50%.

Vicor’s presentation presented innovative modular solutions for three major electrification topics that not only simplify power system design, but also increase scalability and flexibility.

Eliminate the 12V lead-acid battery: An innovative power architecture that replaces the 12V battery with a “virtual battery” not only saves space and weight, but also replaces traditional technology: Speaker, Patrick Kowalyk, Principal Field Applications Engineer, Automotive (April 5, 10:30 am, Room 140B, session PFL710)
The impact of miniaturized power modules on electrification: High power density modules, combined with innovative power architectures, offer xEV development unprecedented design flexibility, scalability, and significant space savings: Speaker, Greg Green, Director of Automotive Customer Programs (April 6, 10:30 a.m., Room 140C, Session PFL740)
DC Charging station compatibility: The incompatibility of the high voltage main battery (800V) with the 400V charging station can be resolved by on-board charging using compact, efficient bidirectional power modules: Speaker, Haris Muhedinovic, Senior Automotive Field Application Engineer (April 7, 9:30 am, Room 260, Session AE600)
