Power Supply Systems
Munich
July 26th – 29th 2023
Vicor covered cutting-edge 48V topics in automotive
Vicor showcased its expertise in 48V, delivering two sessions at the Automotive HV Power Supply Systems Conference in Munich. In the wake of Tesla’s announcement to move to 48V power, there has been momentum in identifying the best path to converting from 12V to 48V for automotive applications. Vicor, the leader in 48V power designs, explained the benefits of using 48V and how high-density power modules make the transition easy, and enable flexibility and scalability for adoption.
