DC/DC Converters

DC/DC Converters

Voltage Converters for Constant Power

DC/DC Converters, also known as direct current (DC) voltage converters, are electronic devices that convert a DC voltage from one level to another. They play a central role in energy distribution and supply in vehicles – especially in modern electric and hybrid vehicles.

Our DC/DC Converters are specifically developed and qualified for use in mobile machines and commercial vehicles. As a standard solution, we offer buck converters for switch-mode operation at 24/12 V.

Other variants such as boost or buck-boost converters can be individually designed to meet your specific requirements. Share your specifications with us – we will develop the right solution for you.

Functions of DC/DC Converters
  • Voltage adaptation between different battery systems
  • Protection features such as overvoltage, short-circuit, and temperature monitoring
  • Voltage stabilization to protect sensitive electronics
  • Increase of energy efficiency: Less energy is wasted thanks to efficient conversion
