𝗛𝗩 𝗗𝗖/𝗗𝗖 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿: 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹-𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹-𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 Powering autonomy means planning for the unexpected. When a high-level autonomous vehicle’s main HV converter trips, steering and braking system can’t afford a blackout - they must stay operational. That’s where 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗔 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗔’𝘀 new 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗛𝗩 𝗗𝗖/𝗗𝗖 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 comes in. Designed to seamlessly take over in critical moments, it provides 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝟰𝟬𝟬 𝗩 / 𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗩 power path that activates, sustaining steering, braking and perception systems if the primary converter drops out. Built on a single-stage active-bridge topology, it delivers >𝟵𝟲 % efficiency, minimising thermal losses and package size. With a continuous power output of 𝟭.𝟮 𝗸𝗪 (𝟮 𝗸𝗪 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸), it ensures reliable performance even under demanding conditions. But performance alone isn’t enough - true resilience demands fault tolerance at the system level. What good is redundancy if both rails share the same fault path? We deliver exactly what real functional safety demands: 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗟 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 and 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗩 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 to prevent common-cause failures - ensuring control and connectivity even after a fault. Safety box ticked ✅, now stay tuned to see how we will tackle cost-optimized redundancy through tailored variant designs. #EnergyManagement #HVDCDCConverter #FunctionalSafety #FailOperational #FORVIAHELLA
