Micro-Transformers Provide Signal and Power Isolation for Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Hybrid Electric Vehicles have gained increased popularity in recent years as consumers look for
alternative fuel vehicles to conserve energy and reduce CO2 emissions. Electric motors are more energy
efficient than conventional combustion engines running on gasoline, and they can dramatically reduce
emissions. While batteries are at the heart of HEVs, they are also the source of many barriers to adopting
HEVs because of reliability, safety, weight and cost. To overcome these barriers, battery monitoring
systems are employed to maintain longevity and safe operation of the batteries. Due to their high
operating voltage, sophisticated isolation techniques are required...Read more
