High Voltage DC/DC Converter

The High Voltage DC/DC Converter ensures a reliable and efficient power supply for the 12 V on-board network in modern electric and hybrid vehicles. Available for 400 V and
800 V high-voltage systems, it supports bidirectional power transfer between the high-voltage and low-voltage domains.

 

Thanks to its passive air-cooling concept, the High Voltage DC/DC Converter operates without a liquid cooling circuit, combining a compact design with high robustness and a peak efficiency of over 96%, even under partial load conditions. Low-latency dynamic regulation guarantees a stable power supply for safety-critical systems such as advanced driver assistance systems, braking and steering control units.

 

The high-voltage DC/DC converter powers ECUs and communication modules during vehicle startup, ensuring critical systems are ready before the main system activates.
​A secondary converter provides backup power to maintain essential functions if the high-voltage system fails.
