Vicor Demonstrates Highest Power Density Automotive Solutions for xEVs At World Congress Experience 2022 in Detroit Vicor will unveil three new approaches for powering xEVs at the premiere global automotive engineering event, World Congress Experience, in Detroit on April 5-7, 2022. Proven Vicor solutions using high-density power modules and new power delivery architectures reduce power losses up to 50%. Addressing three top electrification topics, Vicor presentations offer innovative modular solutions that simplify power system-design and increase scalability and flexibility. Vicor high-density solutions: Eliminating the 12V Lead Acid Battery: An inventive power architecture that replaces the 12V battery with a “virtual battery,” saving space and weight, and eliminating legacy technology: Presenter, Patrick Kowalyk, Automotive Principal Field Applications Engineer (April 5, @10:30am, Room 140B, session PFL710). The Impact of Miniaturized Power Modules on Electrification: Power-dense modules combined with innovative power architectures deliver unprecedented design flexibility, scalability and space savings for xEV development: Presenter, Greg Green, Director, Automotive Customer Programs (April 6, @10:30am, Room 140C, session PFL740). DC Charging Station Compatibility: Higher-voltage primary batteries (800V) create a 400V charging station incompatibility that can be solved with onboard charging using compact, efficient and bidirectional power modules: Presenter, Haris Muhedinovic, Automotive Senior Field Applications Engineer (April 7, @9:30am, Room 260, session AE600). Vicor’s high-performance, high-density power modules uniquely solve automotive electrification challenges: As the automotive industry aggressively moves toward fully electric vehicles, power system design engineers are grappling with how to design significantly higher power delivery networks. EVs require up to 20x more electrical power than a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle which requires a proportional size and weight increase for the power electronics. Vicor power modules help engineers create high-density power delivery networks for EV, PHEV, HEV and BEVs that are lightweight, efficient and offer an easily scalable platform.

Vicor Announces Launch of its First Radiation-Fault-Tolerant DC-DC Converter Power Modules Vicor announced the launch of its first radiation-fault-tolerant DC-DC converter power modules, housed in the new Vicor plated SM-ChiP package. Capable of powering low-voltage ASICs of up to 300 watts from a 100V nominal power source, the ChiPs were tested by Boeing to be resilient to 50krad of total ionizing dose and immune to single-event upsets. Immunity to single-event upsets is achieved using a redundant architecture, where two identical and parallel powertrains with fault-tolerant control ICs are housed in a single high-density SM-ChiP package. Advanced communication satellites require high power density and low noise. Vicor soft-switching, high-frequency ZCS/ZVS power stages within metal-shielded ChiPs, reduce the power system noise floor, enabling signal integrity and total system performance with the requisite high level of reliability. The complete power-source-to-point-of-load solution consists of four SM-ChiPs: the BCM3423, a 100V nominal, 300 watt K = 1/3 bus converter in a 34 x 23mm package; the PRM2919, a 33V nominal 200W regulator in a 29 x 19mm package; and two VTM2919 current multipliers, a K = 1/32 with an output of 0.8V at 150A and a K = 1/8 with an output of 3.4V at 25 amps. The solution powers the ASIC directly from the 100V power source with minimal external components and low-noise operation. All of the modules are available in the Vicor high-density SM-ChiP package with BGA (ball grid array) connections and optional solder mask for the top and bottom surfaces. Operating temperature for the ChiPs is –30 to 125°C. Is New 90 Day High Low • Dec 17
