Infineon's extensive portfolio for 48 V systems in EVs & mild hybrids
In the pursuit of zero CO₂ emissions, efficient hybridization and electrification of mobility is crucial. Infineon stands for the introduction of the 48 V power supply and already offers an extensive application and product portfolio for 48 V solutions in electric and mild hybrid cars. Traditionally, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have been equipped with a high-voltage (HV) power supply and a 12 V power supply. With the increasing number of new BEV platforms, the stage is set for incorporating a 48 V rail as a third voltage rail in the power distribution system (PDS).
48 V as replacement for 12 V power supply
This solution has the potential for overall savings across the vehicle ecosystem — for passenger cars as well as commercial and agricultural vehicles. As the market leader in automotive semiconductor solutions, we work with our customers to develop a holistic approach across the entire vehicle usage pattern and parameter range. Discover Infineon's comprehensive 48 V system portfolio for many applications in electric vehicles.
48 V as third voltage rail in electric cars
Lower cost, reduced harness weight and simplified mounting or heat sink design are one of the main goals for 48 V add-on applications in electric vehicles. With our comprehensive chipset solutions, our customers can realize a cost potential of up to 30% at vehicle system level based on current Si /SiC and future GaN-technologies.
Efficient 48 V mild hybrid systems
48 V in mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV) will pave the way for meeting stricter regulations for CO₂ emissions (e.g. Euro7) and enabling higher efficiency for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. With more than 7 years of experience in supplying 48 V applications for the automotive industry, we support our customers with outstanding system knowledge.
