Powering the 12V-to-48V transition with bidirectional bridge converters

Supplied by Vicor on Thursday, 11 December, 2025


Rising power demands in modern applications — such as industrial systems, robotics, electric vehicles and solar set-ups — have exposed the limits of legacy 12V DC power buses. Transitioning to 48V systems improves efficiency, reduces cable losses and allows thinner wiring.

Learn about advanced bidirectional bridge converters for seamless 12V–48V integration with compact, high-efficiency step-up and step-down operation. Discover how you can reduce your energy waste, minimise thermal management needs, simplify your upgrades, and cut hardware and installation costs.
