    Smart Battery Backup for Uninterrupted Energy
    Christian Cruz, and Marvin Neil Cabuenas, Analog Devices

    ­Backup battery shelves play a key role by serving as the foundation of these systems, acting as the basis hub for the efficient storage of battery backup units (BBU) and creating a link that increases the readiness of critical power reserves. Their primary goal is to accommodate and manage up to six BBU mo

    Why Accurate Cell Data Matters in Battery SoC and SoH Determination
    Gavin McVeigh – Senior Director System Architecture at Dukosi

    ­As SoC and SoH cannot be directly measured, various methods of computational complexity are used to determine their values. The accuracy of quantifiable metrics—temperature, voltage, and current—and the synchronization of data captured for all cells are critical inputs for the algorithms used to determine ov

    Figure 1: Sine Amplitude Converter (SAC) power modules, like the BCM6135, can be used in place of regulated DC-DC converters to reduce size and for higher efficiency. BCM6135 bench measurement efficiency at 25°C shows a peak efficiency around 97.5% at half load

    8 EV Challenges of Converting High Voltage to SELV
    Patrick Kowalyk, Automotive Principal Field Applications Engineer, Vicor Corporation

    The shift to 800V electric vehicle (EV) battery architectures is inspired by the need to increase charging rates, reduce resistive losses (I2R), and improve drivetrain efficiency. In parallel, zonal electrical architectures are emerging, using 48V local buses to reduce harness weight. Converting 800V high-voltage (H
