Embedded Executive: Automotive discussion with Patrick Kowalyk
EVs can be confusing from a “what voltage does it run at” perspective. We have the 12-V lead-acid batteries that have been around for decades. But there are many new sizes, types, chemistries, and voltages. Listen to the podcast to learn how less is more when using power modules for auto electrification.
Podcast with Patrick Kowalyk, North American Automotive Principal Field Apps Engineer
EVs can be confusing from a “what voltage does it run at” perspective. We have the 12-V lead-acid batteries that have been around for decades. But there are many new sizes, types, chemistries, and voltages.
The way in which we deliver power within the automobile needs to change. To hear exactly how, tune in to this week’s Embedded Executives podcast.

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.
