Today’s EV Charging designs require careful consideration of the greater power grid infrastructure they are part of as well as the increased flexibility being demanded by the increased number of charging end applications. Factors such as increased charging cycles required, addition of bi-directional charging, on-site energy storage, and the increased number of vehicles served are requiring greater attention when it comes to the choice of technologies. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Daniel Dalpiaz from Infineon talk about trends in the greater electrical vehicle charging landscape, typical block diagram components, and tradeoffs between discrete devices versus power modules. They also discuss choices between IGBT’s and Silicon Carbide, the advantages of advanced packaging techniques in both power discrete and power module solutions, and how reliability is increasingly important due to demands for more charging cycles per day.
