Design tips for thermal pads and metal enclosures in electric vehicle power supplies (video length: approximately 9 minutes)
High ambient temperatures are a constant challenge when designing automotive subsystems such as traction inverters. In this video, Peter Vaughan, Automotive Business Development Director, explains in detail the value of investing in thermal pads and why enclosure design should be considered early in the design process.
Also see the RDR-952Q, an 86W power supply design featuring an 800V bus compatible SiC-based InnoSwitch3-AQ switcher IC. This design uses a 1700V-rated power IC to demonstrate how an auxiliary power supply can be both efficient and reliable in high-voltage environments.
