UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories, a leading international, independent organization for product safety and certification, extending beyond fire safety. William H. Merrill founded this laboratory in 1893. In 1905, the laboratory established a labeling service for certain product categories requiring more frequent inspections, and in 1906, it introduced the UL certification mark to indicate products that passed its tests.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a key pathway to decarbonizing the transport sector. However, the materials used in them are often subject to scrutiny regarding their sustainability. Objectively quantifying sustainability is very difficult due to its dependence on multiple factors, but there is no doubt that certain technologies, materials, and practices can be more or less sustainable than others.

Vicor has introduced three automotive power modules designed for 48V electric vehicle (EV) systems. The BCM6135, DCM3735, and PRM3735 models utilize integrated circuits designed by Vicor, are AEC-Q100 certified, and have completed the PPAP process with automotive customers.
The BCM6135 is a 2.5kW BCM® bus converter with 98% efficiency that converts 800V from the traction battery to 48V to provide a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) power supply to the vehicle. The BCM6135 internally provides isolation between the high and low voltage, resulting in a significant reduction in the space required for DC/DC conversion. Its power density of 158kW/l allows EV system designers to reduce the size of the primary DC/DC converter and the vehicle's weight. The BCM6135's fast transient response of 8 mA/s enables it to replace a 48V battery weighing over 11 kg, serving as the 48V battery in the xVE, thus saving both cost and weight.
The DCM™ DCM3735 2.0kW DC/DC converter transforms an unregulated 48V input into a regulated 12V output. The DCM3735 has a wide input range, making it compatible with various automotive applications because the output can be adjusted from 8 to 16V. With a power density of 300kW/l, the DCM3735 is an attractive option for architectures that distribute 48V to 12V subsystems in applications with zonal electronic control units (ECUs).
The PRM3735 is a 2.5kW PRM™ regulator for 48V power with 99.2% efficiency. Its small size and 260kW/l power density free up space in the package, reducing the overall size of the DC/DC power supply. It is ideal for 48V regulated loads installed in new vehicle architectures.
Vicor's new modules, which can be installed in over 300 configurations, offer exceptional flexibility and scalability to facilitate innovation across various vehicle subsystems. Furthermore, as the market transitions from 12V to 48V zonal architecture, these products are highly efficient at converting to and from 48V. The three modules can be easily configured in arrays to increase power supply levels and automatically share power to optimize performance within each array.
