Vicor Automotive Solutions: A Better Way to Power: Accelerating Vehicle Electrification with Smaller, Lighter Power Modules [Copy link]

Automotive OEMs are setting aggressive goals to electrify their fleets over the next 5-10 years. To do this, they need to overcome barriers, most importantly how to deliver nearly 20 times the power of existing ICE vehicles (ICE) without taking up valuable packaging space and adding weight. They need to ensure that every EV is compatible with DC fast charging stations along highways to eliminate range anxiety. They need to show consumers that EVs have all the comfort, safety, and performance of ICE vehicles. Vicor is working with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to help them overcome these barriers with innovative modular power delivery networks (PDNs).

A new approach to power architecture

Power density

The size and weight of power electronics directly impact vehicle performance. Go further and faster with smaller, lighter power solutions.

Flexibility and scalability

OEM designers are challenged by evolving power delivery requirements. Quickly implement standardized solutions across a variety of vehicles.

Reusability

Certification and approval of electronic components makes vehicle development very time-consuming. A modular, building-block approach saves time and resources, allowing you to get ahead in the race to electrification.

More power in less space

One of the major challenges facing the automotive industry is the need to deliver more power in less space. Electric vehicles use more than 50kW of electricity, while fuel-powered vehicles use less than 3kW. This nearly 20-fold increase in power requires compact power solutions to free up space and weight. Reducing the size and weight of the power supply network is a key factor. For example, the 2.5kW Vicor BCM6135 fits in the palm of your hand and weighs only 65 grams.
