Primary EV batteries are increasing in voltage up to 400V and 800V, putting tremendous strain on traditional solutions to efficiently deliver power to 12V and 48V loads without taking up valuable weight and space. And those 12V and 48V batteries are vestiges that cannot be replaced by the primary battery because those traditional solutions cannot replicate the fast response time of batteries. Eliminating those batteries would not only save additional space and weight, making EVs lighter, faster, and more energy-efficient, but in the case of the 12V lead-acid battery, it would also remove toxic waste from the environment.
The BCM6135 modules enable standard 800V and 400V batteries to supply 48V power delivery networks reducing weight and space consumption. The BCM6135 provides bidirectional power conversion and fast transient response, eliminating intermediate energy storage at 48V. The BCM6135 can virtualize the HV battery to look like a 48V battery within the system without the space and weight associated with a physical 48V battery.

Tesla commits to 48-Volt automotive electrics
48V is soon to be the new 12V according to Tesla. Size and weight reduction and enhanced power efficiency are a few of the benefits.
High-bandwidth power modules quell the disruption of high-voltage line ripple rejection
Vicor DC-DC converters combine high bandwidths with soft switching topologies to reduce EV ripple rejection more effectively than conventional solutions
BEVs have a weight problem that can’t be solved with traditional approaches
BEVs are getting heavier and adopting a 48V zonal architecture curbs the weight. High-density power modules maximize weight reduction and efficiency.
