Off-Board Chargers

Off-board IconOff-Board Chargers

The increasing popularity of electrical vehicles is boosting the need for efficient and fast charging stations. DC off-board chargers represent an ideal solution to shorten the charging time. Charging time is dependent mainly on the battery size, but many vehicles are capable of getting an 80% charge in less than an hour using common DC fast chargers.

The shortened charging time enables drivers to recharge during the day or on a small break as opposed to plugging in overnight for a full charge. DC chargers have been getting progressively higher outputs to match – with some now capable of up to 350 kW.

PI provides for the DC off–board charging application the tailored, isolated SCALE-iDriver Gate Driver IC Family based on the proprietary FluxLink galvanic isolation technology, as well as SCALE-2 Plug-and-Play Gate Drivers. PI gate driver solutions represent an ideal companion chip to drive properly both Si IGBT and SiC MOSFET, dramatically boosting the overall system efficiency and offering great design flexibility and equipment reliability.
