As the automotive industry rapidly evolves to support higher power demands, it must overcome the challenge of optimizing power efficiency and reliability in 48V systems across a wide range of vehicles — all while striving to meet performance and cost targets in increasingly complex E/E architectures. Many are turning to 80V and 100V metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET) as a solution in passenger, light electric, commercial, and agricultural vehicles.
This 60-minute webinar will provide insight into why a new generation of 80V and 100V automotive MOSFETs is needed. Attendees will gain insight into the specific use cases for 80V and 100V MOSFETs in 48V systems including DC-DC converters, motor control, power distribution, battery management, traction inverters, and LED lighting. The program also will explore the many important benefits the latest power semiconductor technology offers including lower conduction losses, superior switching performance, increased ruggedness, and high reliability.
Highlights include:
- How high-power needs, system cost savings, and e/e architectural changes are driving the trend to 48V in automobiles
- Why 80V and 100V are used for 48V applications
- The growing list of applications of 80V and 100V MOSFETs in vehicles
- The major benefits next-gen MOSFETS bring
An audience Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.
