In DC-DC conversion applications, forward converters—also known as forward-converter transformers or transformers for forward-mode topology—are utilised to offer voltage transformation and circuit isolation.
Depending on the duty cycle and number of windings, they raise or lower the voltage levels of the DC input.
The single transistor forward converter, which is derived from the buck topology, uses a transformer and hence provides galvanic isolation as well as voltage step-up or step-down, making it a strong option for off-line applications needing both.
The Global Forward converter market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Based on the AEC-Q101 vehicle application reliability standards, Shindengen Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has introduced two new devices, the P3FH90VX3 and P5FH90VX3 power MOSFETs.
For xEV DC/DC (forward) converter control power supply, main switches and discharge circuit switches are installed more frequently due to the goods’ high 900V withstand voltage.
High withstand voltage is necessary for the MOSFET used in the related main switch applications because the power supply for main motor drive IGBT control circuits is produced by a DC/DC converter from a high voltage battery.
Additionally, high withstand voltage, large capacity input condensers are used in the voltage conversion circuits for high voltage batteries, increasing the need for circuits that forcibly extract the electric charge built up in capacitors for safety reasons. High withstand voltage MOSFET are also necessary for these switch applications.
In recent years, strict regulations relating to countermeasures for global warming have accelerated the development of environmentally friendly vehicles (xEV).
