ICs ideal for DC/DC Converters
EV, PHEV and HEV vehicles are equipped with two types of batteries: a high-voltage battery for drive and a 12V auxiliary battery. The DC/DC converter converts 200 to 800V from the high-voltage battery to 12V low voltage. This lower voltage powers the head lamps, windshield wipers, instrument cluster, ECUs and charges the auxiliary 12V battery.
The DC/DC converter uses low on-resistance Si IGBTs or SiC MOSFETs to reduce conversion loss. The on-resistance has the characteristic to drop as the gate voltage rises so it is recommended to design a gate drive circuit using, for example, an Si IGBT with a high voltage of around 15V or an SiC MOSFET with a high voltage of around 18V.
ABLIC has a lineup of LDOs that can output the high voltage required by the gate driver circuit. In addition, our lineup offers LDOs with built-in watchdog timers for monitoring MCUs, battery monitoring ICs used for high-speed monitoring of abnormal voltages in 12V auxiliary batteries and operational amplifiers ideal for charge current monitoring. With its wide range of products, ABLIC can provide ICs ideal for DC/ DC converters.
