Did You Ever Drive an Electric Car?
Discrete Solutions for EV Charging
When driving an EV, you will be impressed by its surpassing acceleration. More controversial discussed are the environmental aspects. Clear is that there is no pollution at the place where you drive. But if electricity for re-charging the battery is generated in the traditional way, the problem is just shifted to another place. New concepts deal with the usage of EVs for energy storage of fluctuating solar and wind power. Wall boxes or, even better, wireless charging systems at home and in companies could ideally serve such concepts.
All kind of EV charging stations can be easily realized by using cost-effective, widely available discrete power components. At low power systems they can be used to build the entire power stage, while at high power charging stations they are mainly used for auxiliary functions and controls.
Our latest flyer introduces a broad range of discrete power semiconductors from Bridge Rectifiers over Fast Efficient Diodes and MOSFETs to Schottky Rectifiers. It further includes state-of-the-art components used for control and protection purposes. They allow design engineers to develop cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions for any EV charging system.
