On-board charging is a critical aspect of an electric vehicle’s design and its performance, in addition to complying with stringent automotive regulations. Traditionally, designers use a negative temperature coefficient resistor (NTC) and a bypass relay to limit the peak current at startup when connecting to the grid.
In this one-hour on-demand webinar, we will show you an innovative solution that uses a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) to replace the electromechanical relay and NTC. In addition to providing a smaller footprint and thinner design, this solution offers improved control of the inrush current, faster charging times and a longer lifespan in harsh (heat, vibrations, etc.) automotive conditions typically encountered by on-board chargers.
We also highlight our innovative automotive-grade ACEPACK™ SMIT and HU3PAK surface-mount (SMD) packages with top-side cooling designed to ensure higher power density and improved thermal management for very efficient and more compact systems.
Our new series of AEC-Q101-qualified Thyristors (SCRs) will also be presented and their performance actually measured in an AC or DC power conversion circuit.
