Ep. 6 | Crucial Trade-Offs in Automotive Power Design with Tesla and Vicor
In this episode of Moore's Lobby, Dave sits down with two engineers about power design in the automotive space. You'll hear about how ignoring the holistic system in favor of high efficiency can mean too much of a good thing. You'll learn about IGBTs vs. MOSFETs in the automotive space. And you'll also pick up snippets about why single-sourced new components are forbidden fruit and why it's important to acknowledge that copper's not getting any more efficient. Thermal management, EMI, switching losses, oh my! This episode is full to the brim of the technical details practicing EEs crave.
