DC/DC Conversion

EVs rely on dc–dc converters to step up or step down current from batteries. This block diagram shows the power conversion solutions Littelfuse offers. Our IGBTs and MOSFETs work with our gate drivers to ensure sensors, control modules, and dc motors receive the electricity they require. We also make diode arrays to keep noise from ESDs out of signals and thermal protectors to prevent overheating.
