Figure 1 Vicor power modules are essential to helping design the smallest and lightest active suspension system on the market by combining a 48V architecture and high-density DC-DC converts (BCM6135). Four Vicor fixed-ratio BCM6135, 800V-to-48V DC-DC bus converters are used to convert high voltage to 48V and route power to each wheel. The BCM6135 is bidirectional and provides the fastest transient response of any DC-DC converter. This symmetrical switching speed enables optimal energy regeneration when directly linked to the DC-DC converter.
