Power Converter Bidirectional

Bidirectional power converters in fast dc chargers reduce Li-ion battery charging times. After a rectifier converts alternating current to direct current, a boost converter steps up the voltage going to an EV. Current can flow both ways across the converter. We make SiC MOSFETs for this purpose, as well as diodes and sensors to optimize metal-oxide–silicon field effect transistor performance.
