Battery icon

Battery management systems - PI's reinforced isolated flyback and non-isolated buck converter products are idea for generating internal low voltage supply rails. The extremely low no-load consumption and high efficiency reduce background discharge of the HV battery.

Climate control

Main DC-DC Converters - Depending on the specific architecture either reinforced isolated or non-isolated supply rails are required to be created from the HV system voltage which makes the 1000 V input capable solutions from Power Integrations ideal.

Chargers

charging icon

On-Board Chargers (OBC) - Power Integrations offers low component count, isolated and non-isolated integrated flyback and buck controller ICs ideal for the internal housekeeping supplies within an OBC. With the move to 800 V vehicle architectures, these solutions can operate at input voltages above 1000 V.

Inverters

LinkSwitch-TN2Q

The LinkSwitch-TN2 family of ICs for automotive power supplies provide significant reduction in component count compared to traditional discrete solutions making it highly reliable. The device family supports buck, buck-boost and flyback converter topologies. Each device incorporates a 750 V power MOSFET, oscillator, On/Off control, a high-voltage switched current source for self-biasing, frequency jittering, fast (cycle-by-cycle) current limit, hysteretic thermal shutdown, and output and overvoltage protection circuitry onto a monolithic IC.
