Vicor demonstrates highest power density automotive solutions for xEVs at WCX 2022 in Detroit

Published: 2022-03-29 13:00:00 ET

High-density power modules reduce automotive power system size, weight and component count by up to 70%

ANDOVER, Mass., March 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vicor (NASDAQ: VICR) will unveil three new approaches for powering xEVs at the premiere global automotive engineering event, World Congress Experience (WCX™), 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 challengesAs 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.
