Vehicle electrical engineers are like kids in a sandbox these days. The transition to 48-volt vehicle architecture represents nearly endless potential for improvement in efficiency and functionality ...

Most electric vehicles on sale today run on a 400-volt architecture, but there are a handful of models that double that and operate at 800 volts. The number of 800-volt EVs is on the rise, and this is ...

The war of the currents was fairly decisively won by AC. After all, whether you’ve got 110 V or 230 V coming out of your wall sockets, 50 Hz or 60 Hz, the whole world agrees that the frequency of ...

There are cases when "bigger is better," and this seems to be one of them. The introduction of the 16-volt battery in the '90s left many wondering about its need. While many racers were taking a ...

What are HVICs? High-voltage integrated circuits (HVICs) translate low-voltage control signals to levels that are suitable for driving power switches in high-voltage applications. HVICs also can ...
