 Bidirectional full SiC 200 kW
DC-DC Converter for Electric,
Hybrid and Fuel Cell Vehicles

Description Technical Data Features

In electric and hybrid vehicles many

Lowside Voltage
• Outstanding power density
50 - 790 V
compromises have to be accepted to avoid Range VLV • High efficiency
different HV-levels and a lot of extra • Wide input and output voltage range
Highside Voltage
money and effort is spent, to keep input (VLV + 10 V) – 800 V
Range VHV • High switching frequency
and output voltage ranges as wide as
Lowside Current 300 A • Modular setup (can be extended easily)
possible to match different applications.
• Extremely low inductive setup
Fraunhofer IISB offers non-isolating HV-DC- Maximum Output
Power @ 667 V 200 kW • Optimized water cooled thermal design
DC Converters that match all different
Lowside Voltage • Low weight
occuring voltage levels saving space and
costs and offering more degrees of
Switching Frequency 200 kHz • Sintered power modules for long lifetime
freedom for the vehicle designers. • Small, fast and robust gate drivers
Dimension 248 x 135 x 42 mm
• Full SiC power electronics
The Fraunhofer engineers have managed
to design an extreme lightweight, small Weight 3.2 kg • Six interleaved phases
and powerful DC-DC Converter based on up to 143 kW / dm³ • Hardware over-/ undervoltage lockout
