    Calex Launches High-Efficiency Bi-Directional DC-DC Converters for e-Mobility Applications

    12/05/2024

    ­Calex is thrilled to introduce its newest innovation for the electric mobility world: the 750W BCE bi-directional, liquid-cooled DC-DC converter. Designed with simplicity in mind, this advanced yet user-friendly converter is here to make power management easier for engineers, especially those working on the next generation of EVs and hybrid vehicles (HEVs). You don’t need to be a power electronics expert to use it – this converter offers top-tier performance and efficiency in a way that’s accessible for all levels of engineering expertise.

    Why Choose the 750W BCE?

    The 750W BCE brings hassle-free, low-voltage power conversion to the table. With up to 96.7% efficiency and a rugged IP67 rating, it ensures smooth power transfer between a vehicle’s 48-volt high-side battery and the 12-volt auxiliary systems, improving overall performance and energy usage.

    What sets the 750W BCE Series apart is its ready-to-use design with a user-friendly digital interface (J1939 CAN Bus), which allows easy customization and seamless integration into existing vehicle systems. This means that engineers can focus more on their overall design goals—whether that’s extending battery life, increasing range, or enhancing the performance of auxiliary systems.

    Key Features That Set the 750W BCE Apart:

    • Versatile Power Management: Offers a flexible high-side voltage range of 32-63.2Vdc and a low-side voltage range of 6-16Vdc when working with 48V to 12V hybrid battery systems.
    • Bi-Directional Power Flow: Manages both the high-voltage side and low-voltage side of your system, allowing power to flow seamlessly in either direction as needed.
    • Easy System Monitoring: With a built-in CAN Bus interface, engineers can track real-time system data, customize converter settings, and control key functions with ease.
    • High Efficiency & Reliability: Delivering up to 96.7% efficiency, the 750W BCE helps maximize vehicle range and reduce energy waste. Its liquid-cooled design ensures reliable performance even in the most demanding environments.

    Who Will Benefit from the 750W BCE?

    Whether you’re working on electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), or any project that requires converting 48V to 12V for auxiliary systems, the 750W BCE Series offers a dependable, high-performance solution. It’s perfect for engineers focused on battery management, power distribution, and system optimization, even if power electronics isn’t your primary field.
