Bidirectional Controller Performs Buck & Boost Power Conversions

Description

Industry’s first 6-phase bidirectional PWM controller is designed to perform buck and boost power conversions between 12and 48-v automotive buses.

 

A single automotive-grade ISL78226 delivers up to 3.75 kw at greater than 95% conversion efficiency, and is able to interleave in a modular master/slave architecture to deliver higher power.

 

This innovative design allows engineers to support the rapid adoption of 48V hybrid powertrains that provide improved emissions and better fuel economy for internal combustion engine/electric mild hybrids.
